Waitrose has been accused of racism over its labelling of chocolate Easter ducklings.

The British supermarket chain is in trouble for selling a trio of milk, white and dark chocolate ducklings marked 'crispy', 'fluffy' and 'ugly', with 'ugly' being applied to the dark chocolate.

An apology was issued by Waitrose following customer complaints, but others have pointed out that the labelling is merely a reference to the fairytale 'The Ugly Duckling'.

Is it an overreaction?
