A bra not for the easily offended it seems.

Elegran And you risk turning them against you as well.

I sometimes wonder if it is forgotten, or at least discounted, that there was a long and hard-fought campaign to abolish slavery, and that more American lives were lost in the Civil War than in WW2.

Trivial ( or in this case non existent ) ‘slurs’ really do put peoples backs up ( risk turning against them ) as JaneA says.
That doesn’t mean that somebody can’t complain, even if it seems ridiculous, but I would hope that firms don’t simply cave in to it.If a number of complaints were received then most firms who need to sell would consider doing something,
But not just one person complaining that she didn’t like the name.
