Call to change name of beloved Aussie food
A petition to change the "outdated and offensive" name of one of Australia's favourite party foods has gained over 1000 signatures.
Fairy bread is the latest snack to come under the cancel culture spotlight, with a new change.org campaign declaring that the term 'fairy' "has been used to belittle and oppress others".
"The fact that Australians in 2021 are still using this word in the name of a children's food is reprehensible," the campaign creator wrote.
"I never personally ate fairy-bread (sic) while growing up, and am proud to say that I still have not. However, I would like to think that if I had a child I would not be using a term as crude as the term 'fairy' to describe it."
The creator proposed changing the name to 'Party Bread', "for the sake of countless marginalised Australians".
