My Mum came back from Italy yesterday, and she bought me back these sweets:

Is it just me, or is that an Indian Gollywog? I thought those things were highly offensive and were taken off all sorts of packaging years ago (marmalade, swets, etc). Not in Italy!

Startling?

In what sense?

Answer me this: if it had the same face, but a creamy caucasian complexion, would it be offensive?

No.

So why is it offensive with black skin?

You'll find a lot of suspect products abroad. That is quite startling though.
