Coon 品牌的奶酪将重新命名

SBS 报道

在收到这个名字含有种族主义的内涵后，Coon 品牌的奶酪将重新命名。

这个品牌的加拿大母公司Saputo 今天发布了一个声明。

生产商Saputo Dairy Australia说， 他们将选择一个新的名字， 以便与“当前的态度和视角”保持一致。

在有人投诉这个名字含有种族主义的内涵之后，Coon 奶酪的生产公司将重新命名这个产品。

这个奶酪品牌是以美国人Edward William Coon的名字命名的， 但是，鉴于这个词对黑人的种族蔑称， 许多人对继续使用这个词持怀疑态度。

从1935起， 这种奶酪一直在澳洲生产。

Saputo Dairy Australia总执行官小Lino Saputo在一份声明里说，该公司正在酝酿一个新的名字。

小Saputo 先生说：“我们对这个敏感形势做了认真和不懈的检讨。”

“在经过充分的考虑后，Saputo 公司决定退役COON这个品牌。“

土著活动家Stephen Hagan博士对这个“过时的名字“多次投诉， 包括1999年向人权和公平机会委员会这次失败的投诉。

网上一些人对这种‘取消文化“导致公司改名表达愤慨， 有些推特用户发誓以后永远不再购买Coon奶酪， 不管它改成了什么名字。

Cheesemaker Saputo Dairy Australia said they would be choosing a new name that aligned with "current attitudes and perspectives".

The brand's Canadian parent company Saputo made the announcement today

The company behind Coon cheese is going to re-brand the product after complaints about the name's racist overtones.  

The cheese brand was named after the American Edward William Coon, but many have questioned the ongoing use of the name given the word is a racial slur for black people.

The cheese has been produced in Australia since 1935.

Saputo Dairy Australia chief executive Lino Saputo Jr said in a statement that the company would be developing a new name.
We performed a careful and diligent review of this sensitive situation,” Mr Saputo Jr said.

“We wanted to ensure we listened to all the concerns surrounding the COON brand name, while also considering comments from consumers who cherish the brand and recognise the origin of its founder Edward William Coon, which they feel connected to," he added.

“After thorough consideration, Saputo has decided to retire the COON brand name. As part of this process of transformation, we commit to keep our stakeholders informed as we move forward."
Indigenous activist Dr Stephen Hagan had made several complaints about the "outdated" name, including an unsuccessful complaint to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission in 1999.
Some online expressed outrage at "cancel culture" leading to the company changing the name, with some users on Twitter vowing to never buy Coon cheese or whatever new name the cheese is sold under again.
