This Petition to Change the Name of Cracker Barrel is Very Confusing
In DepthI can’t for the life of me figure out what this Change.org petition is trying to satirize.
There’s currently a petition on Change.org by a guy named Ryan Koch change the name of Cracker Barrel because it’s offensive to white people. It’s got 10,000 signatures and counting, so it’s significant enough to warrant mentioning. It’s definitely not serious, so let’s get that out of the way right now. Exactly what it’s making fun of is less clear; is it mocking white people who complain about a cultural invasion of political correctness (Thrillist’s Dave Infante compared it to the Thanks Obama meme), or is it mocking people who actually get offended by offensive things? I’ve got no damn clue.
