Personally, I do think Sankey overreached on this and that this is out of bounds. There is so much reaction and particularly overreaction taking place right now that we are setting precedents that don’t need to be set. This race to see who can be the least offensive entity on the planet is going too far and too quick on certain levels . The desired result, systemic change or whatever the end game is here will be obstructed long term by these short term small Aunt Jemima kind of social justice “victories”.
Maybe you’re right. There’s going to be substantial pushback from historians and others. Sankey should’ve stayed away from this one.
