(Satire-Humor from The Babylon Bee) Mastercard Changes Name To E******ycard

PURCHASE, NY—Popular multinational financial services company, Mastercard Incorporated, which is known for its extensive line of credit, debit, and prepaid cards to process payments between card-issuing banks and merchants, has released a statement that they will now be known as E******ycard. This shift in branding follows other companies who have made major branding changes due to their negligence in propagating racial stereotypes in America like Aunt Jemima syrup, Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice, and Land O’Lakes Butter.

This massive change in branding awareness comes in the wake of protests pointing out how far we need to go in stamping out s******c r****m, even if it is found in beloved food products. Financial products are now coming under fire as many consumers pointed out that the troubling phrase “Master” was in the name of Mastercard, leading many to think of a checkered past when s***eowners expected to be called “master.”

“Honestly, in 2020, there is no place in America for terms like 'master',” (Massa?) said Ajaypal "Ajay" Singh Banga, E******ycard’s chief executive. “That is not an image we want to evoke when consumers engage in financial t***sactions that might place them massively in debt to us, through late fees and massive interest charges. E******ycard will always promote the e******y of cardholders of all races.”

At publishing time, several other popular American institutions and brands using the problematic word were facing criticism including MasterClass online classes, Masterpiece Theatre, all master's degrees, and Jedi Masters.

Great satire! And to add to it, I was told that L'Oreal will remove the term "whitening" from all of its cosmetic products.
My wife asked a good question. If these companies, such as Uncle Ben's Rice, all remove the "stereotypical" pictures, will they be criticized for not using enough minority images? My thought is to replace them with modern photos. There should be some available from the protest marches. Maybe a college student in a hoodie throwing a bottle of syrup at a police officer.

Yes or holding a pistol sideways...throwing a Molotov Cocktail or beating an 80 year old white person.
