Context?

Is it a language thing, or . . . ?

EDIT:

Per Wikipedia:



Dunno what the point of this thread is.

It's supposed to be a joke thread.

Those are damn tasty, had a lot of it as a kid. Too bad about the name.

Is it that like African black dye candy? Kinda mentholly?

 

[BlizzKrut]

Negro also means black in portuguese, as in other languages.

There are other languages in the world, amazing I know.

 

[andythinkpad]

So that's what black people taste like.

Well here in the Netherlands we have had negerzoenen (Negro Kisses, chocolate things with whipped cream inside), jodenkoeken (Jew Cookies, big round cookies sometimes with chocolate), blankenvla (White Custard, just vanile custard) etc.

Some of them are changed by name some still the same.

I don't think "blankenvla" fits in that list. It's actually "blanke vla", not "blanken". Subtle but important difference. Blanken refers to white people, blanke just refers (in this context) to the color. There's no racial connection there at all.

The other two are right though. The changed the name of negerzoenen at this point, although I think they still sell Jodenkoeken. That one sounds weird but I don't think it's actually offensive, as it's based on an old Jewish delicacy, and it originally comes from the Jewish community in Amsterdam in the early 1900s - it's not meant as a slur towards Jewish people in prewar days. If I'm remembering right at least.
