All of their Mexican products are called Trader Jose. I think they have some Italian ones called Trades Joseppi.

I don't go there like I did three or four years ago, but most ethnic foods (that's probably racist to say now) have these really stupid, cornball names.

i.e. a salsa is called Trader Jose's
a pizza is Trader Giotto's
Chow mein is Trader Ming's

the fact a human being is actually offended by this makes me lose faith in humanity

I've about had it with Potatoes O'brian. Get rid of that shit!

At this point I'm wondering when a Latinx parent naming their son Jose will be called racist.

It's almost as if constantly focusing on Race is Divisive?

You can be intolerant of religion and religious people as long at the Religion is either Christianity and or Judaism. No intolerance for Islam will be tolerated.

Yay!!! This should get a few less people killed in NYC and Chicago this week. I'm sure some men saw this and decided to be fathers to their kids. Maybe even marry the mom of them.
