Now it is of course the case that unconscious prejudices are also shaped and exacerbated by our socio-cultural environment. This is also the case, of course, with the entertainment industry and, of course, the often maligned advertising industry. Outdated terms in our language and outdated brand names with racist undertones are widespread, as they mostly come from a time when equality was perhaps not as important as it is today.
The fact that we have become hong kong rcs data accustomed to these expressions is alarming. Our self-reflection has been replaced by an automatic response. I doubt that a product that appears today with such a racist name would not meet with resistance. Opponents of this argument usually appeal to tradition: "Yes, but it has always been like that." I have to say that I really have no idea who ever accepted this sentence and why, but in my world it is completely meaningless. Because it has always been like that without thinking, it must be changed. Because guess what: times have changed. Thank God!
And here's a little quote from someone who knows what he's talking about. Mohamed Abdirahim is half English, half American with Somali roots and was elected to the Bern city council in 2017: "If such names and symbols disappear from everyday life, the racist stereotypes associated with them can no longer shine through."
