You´d never see a logo like this in the United States these days, but racist media representations are alive and well in Ecuador. (Have I mentioned that everyone on TV is white, even though more than three-fourths of the population is non-white?) Menestras del Negro is a big fast food chain down here. Reminds me of the chocolate covered peanuts they sell in Spain called Conguitos, meaning something like "little people from the Congo."
