I agree funny but also quite depressing that some idiots with too much time on there hands even think like that.
Never bought the stuff myself but have seen it on the shelves and never thought it was racist. Its one of those very British brands with a classic label, a bit like the HP sauce classic label.
Oh well yet again the loonies win.

It's also quite hilarious that some idiots with too much ink to waste and space to fill would even print that.

If I could just change what I said a bit. I did laugh at it, and at first I thought it was being objected to because of the brand name, as those two on the new label do look rather camp.
But the mind set of the British Raj was backward and racist. I have been in the former summer capital, Simla, where no Indian people were allowed to walk in the main road, The Mall. It was for europeans only.

Hey, Leeds-steve, in the future, please consider adding to existing thread's that you've already created on the BB Forums when sharing your many pearls of wisdom. Certainly, Proof of how stupid political correctness can be would have sufficed for this item.
