Update: Yum Brands will change Dallas Banh Shop’s red star logo after complaints

[TexasTowelie]

Yum Brands will immediately change the logo of Dallas’ Banh Shop, according to an email from Yum Brands senior vice president Jonathan Blum. In the email, sent to petitioner Thanh Cung, Blum offers an apology to the Vietnamese community for the logo, which Cung and others found too reminiscent to the star symbolizing communism.

“Effective immediately, we are changing the logo and removing the red star from all materials and signage at the restaurant,” Blum wrote. “That will happen by end of day today.”

1. And yet we do MASSIVE business with COMMUNIST China.

But I guess they don't put red stars all over their poisonous dog food.
What a crock of hypocrisy.

3. Get with the times. Saigon is Ho Chi Minh city

It is Communist we lost remember?
I spent a year in and around Saigon in 1967-68.
We could have never fought that war and the outcome would have been the same.
There is no longer Saigon street food.
