They already did this with Kosher and Halal foods, why does this shock you?
You do know the difference, don't you?

The Kroger on Champion forest Dr and Spring Cypress has a minority produced food section too. Ok, I guess. But when people stop shopping at that store for that reason, we'll see what happens. Let me say this: I pass that Kroger to go the HEB across from Klein HS or the HEB on 99 and Champion Forest Dr.
Peace for Ukraine!

How pissed will people become if the products get pushed to the 'ethnic' aisle?

So, you can use racism to determine your dining choices...


And they will identify you as a racist is you specifically avoid buying certain food items. How? By the list of items you purchase on your (electronic) and the credit card you use.

And that kind of level of micro-managing is just another reason to cease caring about the term racist and brand those pre-occupied with it as enemies.

HEB has employees wearing shirts which have "1619" on the back so only a matter of time before they do stupid **** like this as well.
Do you shop at Tower Point in CS?
They have "619" on the back of their shirts, because that is their corporate number of that location. The Villa Maria Store is 544, and their employees have that on the backs of some of their shirts. Employees at the Holleman store wear 543. Highway 21 store employees wear 644.

What must it be like to be so relentlessly persecuted as you are?

So is it safe to assume that if it isn't labeled then it is a white owned company?
Those will be labelled "owned by evil white men"

Sounds like a great opportunity for fightin Texas Aggie Floyd Raven's coffee company. So some good can come of all of this.

I guess racists will know which products to buy now:

Quote:

A major grocery store chain is now getting into the business of identity and racial politics by labeling minority owned products on the shelf for buyers to see.

Giant Food is rolling out updated shelf labels that enable shoppers to identify products from minority-owned businesses.

Major Grocery Chain Joins Woke Agenda; Labels Their Products "Black Owned", "Hispanic Owned" And "LGBT Owned"
Hellya, makes it easy to boycott these groups out of retaliation. Sure they want to play this game? I recently declined on a potential purchase because it said "black owned!". Not because the owners were black, but because f*** identity politics gone wild.





If the store is doing this, how is it the fault of the item?
Doesn't matter to me. I do not support identity politics in any way. The store is doing this to them, that's the way I see it.

But you can bet that the vast majority, if not all, of black owned businesses are fans of the stores doing this...so F em (aside from rare possible exceptions).

What about publicly traded companies that make a lot of the products we buy...certainly they have minority stockholders. How do we classify those businesses? Maybe they go in the "corporate pigs" aisle.
