The Dairy Queen article used to have a mention about the controversial racism from when Moolattes where introduced.
I'm not a pro at Wikipedia but you can see the accusation at the end of the first paragraph here:

The link in the Slate article no longer works, this one does.
In essence the controversy was a number of sites working to get some ad dollars. I never bothered to figure out how to fix this, luckily some volunteer did.
- pessimizer 11y agoI don't understand what you're trying to say here. Are you trying to say that calling a milk and coffee ice cream drink a MooLatte is not racist and that the product was not quickly withdrawn from the market?
- DanBC 11y agoThe Wikipedia page for Dairy Queen mentions the MooLatte drink. Previous versions of the page mentioned the controversy about the name. The current version of the page doesn't. Since there are plenty of online sources talking about the name it seems to meet notability requirements, so the fact that the information has been edited out might be evidence of a problem.
- undersuit 11y agoWas the product withdrawn? Does not Dairy Queen still offer that product? Also yes the name Moolatte is not racist.
