Farina is cream of wheat, not flour. Also afro-latin is the dominant culture in the Dominican Republic, so I don't think this is stereotyping in the way you think it is, or in the way it would be if a white-dominated corporation used this branding

Now I want a flour named "White as a fucking cracker flour". (I'm white, I can make these kinds of jokes.)

I'm pretty sure non white people can make that joke as well

That's just part of the joke, because "radical centrists" (far-right that likes to gaslight liberals and the left to take the moral high ground) like to pretend the two are the same.
