Sorry, that’s nonsense. The difference is that the primary mainstream association of the word ‘gin’ is an alcoholic drink whereas the main association of the word ‘coon’ is a racist term.
It has nothing to do with indigenous people having less clout than African Americans - it’s about what most people immediately think of when they hear the word. If it was ‘Abo Cheese’ because of Edward Abo’s process, we’d be having the same conversation.
I haven't read thread, so it may have come up but what about cracker barrel cheese, in fact what about crackers full stop, i think the same mob that owns coon owns cracker barrel.
Essendon seems like a good name for a cheese, person, place, or anything really. Would you buy a cheese called 'Essendon'?I just hope they unwittingly change it to something more offensive to the baying mob

So far 31,300 votes.
Yes 6%.
No 94%.

Doesn't surprise me.
