Additionally, there is a fundamental difference here. The problem isn't that
someone might be offended -- people might be (and are) offended by anything.
The problem is that the logo refers to a marginalized race of people using
stereotyped imagery. While many people do not eat beef and hold cows sacred,
the beefy miracle logo does not make any reference to those people. If it
did, it too would have been a problem.
