Will the Queen be removing?

the Milky bar from her shops and apologising to those that may be upset by it?If not why not,the milky bar kid is another representation of white?

Update:

RE.Clo Why answer a question you don't understand about a totally different chocolate bar and then feel the need to preach 30 years of studying something totally irrelevent to the question?

    Good question.......where will it all end ? It once used to be that "when in Rome, you had to live like the Romans" but now we can't open our mouths in our own country in case some other bugger takes offence ! Funny how they can have a go at us and get away with it !

    I'm afraid I don't understand what the queen has to do with this candy bar. Nestle doesn't sell this bar in the United States.

    EDIT: I found an article about these Golliwog dolls being sold in Sandringham. Mexico went through a similar controversy when they released stamps commemorating a "Memin Pinguin", a traditional cartoon character. In the USA a restaurant chain closed in the late 1970's called Sambo's named after the popular children's character.

    People can be offensive to others, I know, and I don't agree with open racism or treating people differently because of colour, beliefs, opinions etc. but I agree this is more like political correctness gone mad.
