You know I've never thought of it this way🤔 cuz usually people who are called Abdul Kareem are just called Kareem over here xD you might be right! You should be proud. I'll check the tea cakes out!

Also that candy remains me of the Tea cakes we get here <a href="https://d25hqtnqp5nl24.cloudfront.net/images/products/11/LN_002558_BP_11.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://d25hqtnqp5nl24.cloudfront.net/images/products/11/LN_002558_BP_11.jpg</a> which I buy from time to time, wonder how the taste compares?

time for a pre=dinner dip into your archive! I think you translated Abdul Kareem wrong (i'm proud of myself for noticing - also a little worried that i'm actually talking out of my arse) but shouldnt the translation be "slave of the most generous"?

Really interesting little fun fact 🤔 I don't think we have any brand in my country that could be misunderstood as sexist. Anyway, how languages may or may not be affected by social-cultural changes and globalization is very intriguing to me. For example, there are more non-native people using english in the world than native people and that is causing some of the grammar rules in the language to be bent or ignored and slowly that is becoming thr standard english. Really facinating stuff

over here, we had black licorice that were shaped like golliwogs, which was a very racist portrayal of black people and the golliwog dolls are actually illegal where I come from, if you have one then you could serve a sentence of 7-10 days in prison, or something like that.

OMG!!😂😂😂 Watched it it's a very funny commercial actually I liked it xD it's kinda silly that feminism managed to find its way into that joke 🤦

I don't know of any racist candies here in the UK but we do have Yorkie bars, which has been seen as sexist for it's 'Not For Girls' slogan. Basically Yorkie is a bar of big 'masculine' chunks of chocolate so it's not for girls. It was all just a silly joke but courted a bit of controversy.
