a) The ice cream appears to be white... it's in between two layers of black. Was this an attempt to relay the designers fear of being around black people?
b) Nogger, nigger or anything else... going back to a joke a black comedian once told, if I as a white male American wanted to make potato chips called Barbeque Niggers, I should be able to. It's up to people to not buy them if they think it's offensive.
Why are people so flustered about words? My heritage contains a lot of Irish. They aren't known for being well-loved people in their area of the world. If someone called mint chocolate chip ice cream "Emerald Coal-crackers" I'd be more amused than offended. Actually, I think that's a DAMNED GOOD name, despite some soft-bellied folk maybe getting upset about it. *shrug*
People need to get over themselves.
