For John, BLUF: From my teen years in California I remember the Land-O-Lakes packaging, even though we used a different brand. Now it is gone. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus four:
The politically-correct crowd has claimed another scalp.It goes down hill from there.Quietly and without fanfare, the makers of Land O Lakes butter rubbed out the lovely maiden that was the centerpiece of the company’s logo for 100 years.
In the middle of the logo now is a big zero.
That stands for the amount of sense that it makes to get rid of a lovely image that offended few if any Native Americans, for whom it was supposedly removed.
“You know who loves being represented in American culture? According to a survey of 4000 Native Americans by NAGA, Native Americans do,” the red-headed libertarian tweeted. “You know who doesn’t love Native Americans being represented in American Culture? Woke suburban white women.”
I guess there was a reason for changing the logo, but this wasn't it. Being sensitive to the feelings of others is important. However, when the minority exercises tyranny over the majority there should be questions asked. For example, are you offended because something is being misrepresented or are you offended because you enjoy the power of being offended and expressing it?
In fifty years only the prurient will remember this.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
