You guys should hear the tone that was used in giving the "press statement" about the can cover. My thing is, they could have used any other "southern" image and it would have been tasteful-maybe. But to pick a plantation out of all things southern is truly an insult. In their response, instead of apologizing for there insensitivity, the Arizona rep tries to rationalize it. BOYCOTT ARIZONA!!!!!!NOT JUST THE TEA BUT ALL GOODS THAT COMPANY DISTRIBUTES!!!!!! I just called the number he gave for the Arizona company.

But from the little I could see, the lady looked white to me. I hope people weren't dumb enough to call that number lol Sandra, you should be ashamed of yourself for posting this without checking for yourself!
