idk if it's just me being hypersensitive but having the darkest color called 'ugly' is pretty sketchy

probably for the best that it's pulled

I think people have just missed the point that it is tied to ugly duckling story but then the ugly duckling was a cygnet so really they should have had two ducks and a cygnet if they wanted to represent it properly

The ugly one ends up to be the hero of the story. Maybe the white people who complained are the racist ones... not wanting a dark brown "duckling" being the hero...?

I'd be really interested to know how many black people complained... not many I reckon because they understand... it's CHOCOLATE!

If they were trying to represent Jews, then I'd agree.

But they weren't.

They were selling chocolate ducks.

So you agree with the white woman who complained?

Making out that black people would be insulted by what is essentially a bit of chocolate does nothing to help race relations. It makes it seem like black people complain about all kinds of stuff... when in actuality, it's white people being offended on their behalf.

i don't really agree with her because calling this "racist" is a joke i just can understand why someone could feel weird about the darkest of three different colored ducks being called ugly

Well if someone did feel like that, they need a hug and be told not to be so daft.
