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."

They've already changed the Aunt Jemima image. When I was a kid, she was definitely a stereotype, an overweight mammy with a do-rag on her head. They modernized her to look like an attractive black woman some years ago.

So is it the name that's deemed stereotypical? What are they gonna name it now? "Auntie J?"

Is/was Jemima a typical slave name? I had an ancestor named Jemima and she wasn't black.

From where did she hail?

My Jemima? England.

Swiss candy executives resist changing the name of Mohrenkopf (Moorhead) candy.

I'm sure Uncle Ben won't be far behind. This is madness.

I’d rather have Aunt Jemima’s pancake recipe than some skinny white vegan bitch.
