The internet erupted in rage over the weekend. No, it wasn’t about Trump’s latest absurd recommendations for coronavirus treatment. It was about the removal of the Native American maiden on Land O’ Lakes’ butter box. It appeared that the company (based in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes), finally got woke to the racist stereotype it promoted on its packaging and attempted to de-margarine-alize the maiden.
While Native activists praised the move, the new logo, which features the land, and, well, the lakes, really burned the toast of white, conservative Americans. A Twitter firestorm erupted, Land O’ Lakes started trending (for all the wrong reasons), and the clap back was hilarious. These are the funniest tweets about the Land O’ Lakes’ missing maiden.

I didn’t realize how many conservative men in their 40s were jerking off to the girl on the Land O Lakes butter box. Shit’s wild.

I’ve been a Land o Lakes man since 08, it helped make my unique sex life less uncomfortable through its lubrication qualities. Unfortunately now that they bowed to PC oppressors and took the Native American off the tub I will be switching to KerryGold. pic.twitter.com/1ahpa03DV1

I have a half-full 4 pack of land-o-lakes before the design change and now I’m wondering if I can sell it to some insane MAGA dipshit for $100 or something

The same folks upset that a Native American woman was removed from the Land O Lakes butter were probably pissed when they made Aunt Jemima look less slavey.

Good news for the white folks upset about the Land O’ Lakes mascot: Did you know there are actual, real indigenous people all around the country right now that you can see AND speak to instead of just looking at a caricature of them while you eat breakfast you fucking ass clowns.

They’re worried about Land O’ Lakes removing the Native American lady, when really they should be worried about eating less butter. #LandOlakes #Conservictims pic.twitter.com/OXoQOAz51e

Not a big deal that Land O Lakes changed the logo. But it was lacking something. So I fixed it. Much more on the nose.
