North Dakota state Rep. Ruth Buffalo called the image racist, telling The Grand Forks Herald it goes hand-in-hand with human and sex trafficking of our women and girls. by depicting Native women as sex objects.

(pick your news source since some of yall are bitches)

Apparently just having a native american woman in cultural dress is too offensive to have on your butter lmao.

Not really a loss of anyway but kind of a disappointment that the company gave in to oversensitive pc culture after having the same butter maid since 1928.

Oh. Ok.

So this means you are removing the pipeline then? Legislating proper protections to native american reservations and people?

Oh. Right. Of course not. It's just worthless bullshit lip service.

Saying that cultural Native American attire makes someone look like a prostitute is, ironically, incredibly fucking racist.

It doesn't really matter, it's just a logo. But I do also hate it when people give in to these lunatics. It just encourages them to push ever further.

A town in my province here recently dropped their town slogan of "The land of rape and honey", referring to rapeseed as one of the main exports.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/22/canadian-town-tisdale-land-of-rape-and-honey-slogan

Though I say recently, and that was 4 god damn years ago. I kinda miss seeing the sign when I drive through the town, but it was most definitely a bit of an outdated slogan that needed to be replaced.

Somebody didnt read the articles in the OP I see...

Native American artist Patrick DesJarlait, of the Ojibwe tribe, redesigned the packaging in the 1950s to foster a sense of Indian pride, the Minnesota Reformer reported.

His son, Robert DesJarlait, told the outlet that the image which has been slammed by many as racist has become a paradox for Native Americans.

He was breaking a lot of barriers . . . Back in the 50s, nobody even thought about stereotypical imagery. Today its a stereotype, but its also a source of cultural pride, DesJarlait told the outlet.

Oh. Right. Of course not. It's just worthless bullshit lip service.

As someone born and raised in Minnesota, where Land O Lakes butter is produced, I concur that more time should be spent legislating proper protections to native american reservations and people such as making sure they have clean soil, air and water, proper sanitation, etc. In fact, has this North Dakota representative sponsored any legislation in the North Dakota state legislature that provides proper sanitation for native american reservations and people, or against pushing oil pipelines onto native american reservations so that the next oil spill contaminates their land and/or water supply? If the answer's no, then their complaint against the Land O Lakes logo is truly lip service.

There's a lot of...irony in those statements.
It's a stereotype that was seen as comfortable. It was like a sell out.
If someone teases their own heritage, race, background, gender, etc., that doesn't then mean it's okay.
He kinda sounds like a sell out. Black people would take some pretty messed up roles when they were allowed behind camera, and that certainly doesn't make it acceptable at that point. Sometimes you gotta pander to an audience for sales.
