Uncle Ben you are next!

Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image that Quaker says is 'based on a racial stereotype'
“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype," Quaker Oats said, adding that the move is an effort "toward progress on racial equality

I would say she is portrayed positively as a kindly relative. The syrup is trash though, they should discontinue that.

How is Quaker itself not based on a racial stereotype, by that logic?

Its probably because she represents an old stereotype of older Black Women and how they look. Kinda like how Speedy Gonzalas is a stereotype of Mexican people. Similar sorta thing.

Farewell Aunt Jemima. Your fake maple syrup has done its job slathering our pancakes with sweet, gooey liquid :sadyes:

Its racist in that it is a caricature, like a lawn jockey or golliwog doll

If the issue is the proportions then that should be easily adjustable. Really the mouth size is the only part that could be considered a caricature imo. The rest is just a black lady. It's pretty tame as far as caricatures are concerned. I've never once heard a complaint about Aunt Jemima

"You ain't had pancakes till Aunt Jemima drizzled all over them!"

I think that could be a problem.

Speedy Gonzales is a cartoon character. Jemima has got a perm like everyone else back in the day. That's what it looks like to me anyway

In her current depiction she looks to me like she mostly fits the stereotype of an older lady who probably goes to church and might well be someone's aunt. But yeah the previous depictions definitely play into the type of stereotype you describe, where a domestic worker might be addressed euphemistically as "Aunt" whatever.

This shit is madness and going too far.  Aunt Jemima is a fucking legend.

But hey, if we have to take away the face of an iconic black woman from a product in he name of racism, so be it I guess...

It had to be done. I loved her but it was time. With Aunt Jemima off our shelves, it's a less racist world now. Combining this with the guns being taken from white incels Elmer Fudd and and Yosemite Sam, I can now safely say that today ladies and gentlemen, we are now living in a vastly safer world.

Next on my wish list:



The blatantly sexist and misogynistic "Hungry Man" tv dinners. This sexist trash has been brazenly taunting us in our frozen food aisles for long enough. Now is the time.

Either change it to "Hungry Human" or GTFO. Now.

:triggered:

Btw not to get back into the whole wing thing since I retired last night -- there ain't no such thing as a MF'n boneless wing (as advertised on that Hungry Man box).
