omigod, i just remembered this... | ...so unintentionally politically incorrect

Wow.  Part of me wants to think that nobody complained because it never even occured to anyone that the name "might" mean anything other than an onomatopoetic description of the product in question.  I mean, I'd like to belive that...

People in Vancouver are probably just as racist as they were in Maple Ridge (the old shit-shack of a town I used to live in), but the "minority" population is so much higher out here that you'd have to have a death wish if you were as public with your racism in Vancouver as some people were in Maple Ridge.

The west coast is a complete hodge-podge of all sorts of people.  I usually get weirded out if I see a large group of people all of the same "race".  That being said, we definitely do have a racist past, and there's plenty of fringe activity still going on.
