Racist product placement in stores?

Post Reply New Topic

That's quite ridiculous. It simply promotes ease of location for consumers. I know when I want refried beans and corn tortillas, I go to the Mexican Foods aisle. I'd hate to have to locate things by ingredient (corn aisle for tortillas, which would also be inundated with cereals, canned corn, frozen corn, corn dogs, cornbread, corn flour, corn starch corn syrup, cornflake crumbs, etc. and bean aisle for beans). You'd spend an eternity searching for the desired product. It's no more racist than grouping all the seafood together.


I wonder if the perch take offense (due to being freshwater fish)...

These PC people are getting ridiculous I sometimes cook asian food and I wouldn't want to be hunting around the supermarket looking for asian things.
Our local supermarkets Coles, Woolworths and IGA have them all together its easier for customers.

Well you all know I think my friend is going overboard too. I was just wondering what everybody else thought.

That's not racist marketing and product placement.

The moon pies and RC cola and pork rinds are on the Cracker aisle I bet

I doubt many black women would find it racist that all the products they might want to buy for their hair are grouped together. It saves them searching through all the stuff to find the things they want. Is it racist that most black women go to hairdressers that specialise in their hair type and that other hairdressers would politely tell them they didn't want to tackle their hair? I wish there were some who specialised in in-betweeny hair types, as the 'white' people's hairdressers don't know what to do with mine. I would like an in-betweeny section in the supermarket too - the closest we have to that is a section filled with Frizz-Ease products.

I don't consider myself an intellectual so I guess I'm off the hook.
