As much as I hate to say this, I don't think they're over-reacting. I'm assuming, of course, that it was some kind of advocacy group that complained. That's just how advocacy groups operate. It's completely political and part of a larger campaign. Do they actually believe that an ice cream bar with a poorly chosen font for the word "black" is keeping black people down? I doubt it. But they say it anyway to keep everyone aware of the assumptions made when choosing a font like that (loosely associated with low-income urban populations, which are loosely associated with black people). But don't jump on me for defending this practice. I am not exactly a fan of the tactics that advocacy groups use. All I am saying is that there's a motivation here besides, "I'm a minority and I am sooooooo sensitive that everything on the planet offends me."
