1. This is funny, but there have been some Americans who have come here and tried to file suit against the company. But theres a group who call themselves Anybody but Obama (ABO), and yet no Australian has complained about the implied insensitivity toward indigenous australians (esp considering the subject matter). We all have our differing cultural context for certain things, so lets just stop pushing our agendas on eachother and stop throwing stones in glass houses.
2. Good call!
3. IT'S JUST A NAME!!
4. I was always disappointed as a kid that when you cut a slice of Coon cheese from the block it never had the word Coon written inside the block like in the ads.
5. I'm Australian. I eat coon cheese. I think Stephen Amos is magnificently funny. He has a valid point you know. His humour very much relies on the fact his skin is black and his voice is as posh as he wants it to be. He does the best Australian accent, him and Michael Caine. Most impersonations of Australian accents are just AWFUL, especially Americans. Keep up the good work Stephen, we love you.
6. Australia is a modern country, as modern as anywhere in the world. Yea you'd try lol. Don't ever go to Australia, because you will get locked up & be known as idiot world wide.
7. I never even heard that Coon was a racial slur about Black people before. It doesn't exist in Australia. Its like in America its racist if you say a Black people likes Fried Chicken or Water Melon. But in the rest of the world it doesn't exist. People have to realize that the culture in their country isn't the same in every country around the world. Ignorant fucking Idiots.
8. Idiots in the world that think their culture in their country is same everywhere around the world. Its called Coon Cheese because a guy named Edward Coon made it. Idiot.
9. Steven mate if Australia was not here you would have even more shit show than you already do. it's a fucking cheese get over it. do we have to change the name of Vegemite because vegetarians get pissed off.
10. We don't pronounce "name" like "Nyahme" for fuck's sake.... Why the hell does everyone say it like that?
11. yeah still is and the whole blackboy trees thing was so over the top it wasnt funny i still call em blackboys anyway
12. Boong used to be the racist term for aboriginies when I was a kid...They did change the name of Blackboy Trees to Grass Trees....
13. Well i must live a very sheltered life or simply in an area where the coon term is never used in relation to race. At lest not in my hearing. I am of mixed European decent by they way.
14. I've heard heaps of people say coon as a racist term in canberra and nsw. Coon boots springs to mind, for when your barefoot. Or the aboriginal people originally in the canberra area being the ngunnawal people, ngunnawal nikes gets used here.
15. In Australia we learnt the evil intent behind the word coon as we learnt about American history. America still cheers for the Washington Redskins by the way and Redskin isn't an insult from another country.
16. Bega is better
17. yeah well i dunno but here people call aboriginals coons as well as abo and other names which are all derogatory
18. Well i live in NSW and i have spent time in OLD and VIC and i have never heard anyone use the term coon as a derogatory term towards Aboriginals. The only term i have heard that could be seen as offensive is Abo. I know that some pacific islanders get called coconut head.
19. i think you'll find some aussies use the word coon as a racist term haha or is that only wa?
20. Australians never use the word coon as a racist term. But we had to learn that it was a racist term in other parts of the world. The type of cheese was developed by a man named Edward Coon. So the cheese is named after his family name. I am sure if you look into it you will find Coon families in other English speaking nations as well.
21. **NOIM!!
22. to be fair australia is catching on to the whole political correctness thing they used to have trees called black boys but that was deemed to racist so they changed it to grass tree so when you want to enjoy a nice coon sandwich find shelter under a black boy.... i mean grass tree
23. It's just a fuckin' name!
24. omg its the people who think it is racist who are racist, geeze its just a brand name, the founder's last name, im pretty sure he didnt name it Coon Cheese to afend someone, and if you read that and think of something like that well we know whats in your mind don't we
25. no its named after the person who patented the technique that's used to make it
