Oh man when I first got to Australia and saw the coon cheese, I thought it was funny.

“ The change comes after more than two decades of campaigning by Indigenous activist Stephen Hagan.
The company was originally Australian-owned, and the cheese is said to be named after American Edward William Coon.
Mr Coon patented a process of making cheese in Philadelphia.
"Coon" was historically used as a racial slur against people with dark skin, particularly of African-American, Australian Aboriginal, or Pacific island heritage.
The brand change comes after confectionery giant Nestle announced it would rename its Chicos and Redskins products.”
