There's no need for that. The naming was stupid. Two named after something neutral/positive and one ugly.

If the kid got those ducks and asked, why is the dark one ugly? They could tell him that actually, the ugly one turns out to be the best one of all...

Or, they could tell him that it's just CHOCOLATE, stop making a racist issue where none was intended.

Are there any black members on this thread? I'd be interested to know their take on this.
