https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyl...acist-petitionTrader Joe's seemed to reverse a decision to rebrand some of its international food labels, denying that the packaging is racist.
After saying earlier this month that it is replacing "any variations" on the name Trader Joe's, the company said in an announcement on its website it will keep "products that resonate with our customers" on the shelves. For decades, the chain has used names like Trader Giotto's, Trader José's and Trader Ming's on international foods.
"Recently we have heard from many customers reaffirming that these name variations are largely viewed in exactly the way they were intended—as an attempt to have fun with our product marketing," the company wrote.
Might start shopping there.

Seems like they did the math on rebranding costs and their customer base was pissed.
This company literally reacted to one 17 year old with a bogus claim about "exotisizing".
I would not give them any credit for this since they were dumb to respond in the first place and reacted out of fear. They were willing to go along with it.

They should make a trader Chad's protein powder and trader Timothy's soy protein
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

This is actually pretty surprising because TJ's is kind of a hipster doofus Bernie supporting store. Maybe the owners aren't but the people who work there and especially the people who shop there. Guaranteed to see a woman in there with hairy armpits. That being said, the do have some good stuff in there. Just watch out because their foods are mostly preservative free...

Thanks. I love one of the responses.
How did a privileged, white teen from the most affluent part of the country dare define what is offensive to POC and minorities? Did she even poll them? IMO, TJ's branding appreciates the cultures that created our favorite foods, rather than whitewashing them under the name Joe.
They do realize that's what is happening for a lot of protests nowadays?
