It's kind of like the Uncle Bens thing. Just a picture of a black guy...a real one who actually lived and was used as a positive portrayal. We were told that's offensive but the Quaker Oats guy isn't. Sister Shubert isn't. Marie Callendar isn't. Chef Boyardee. On and on it goes. It's kind of funny. There are "white" product spokespeople all throughout the grocery store, but it's racist to have black ones?
Calling black people "Aunt" or "Uncle" is itself a racist tradition.
It's been rebranded to Ben's Original and the black guy's picture has been removed. Why remove the black guy's picture? If it was the word "uncle" that was problematic, that was addressed with the name change. Could not Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben have changed the names and kept the images? You won't find more wholesome, positive portrayals.
Aunt Jemima is a "mammy" stereotype. I wouldn't call that wholesome or positive.
Is there a product currently on the market that uses that portrayal?
No, it was changed a while back to tone down the blatant racism. Still not many good reasons why they shouldn't just ditch the brand altogether and come up with something more appropriate for modern times, IMO.
It’s offensive because a race of people shouldn’t be used as a mascot - it’s really that simple

FSU doesn't use a caricature of an ignorant, subservient Indian as their logo. FSU also pays them for use of the name and imagery.
Many native Americans see Indian as racist and disrespectful languageNobody's talking about keeping racist-associated language.
You don't deserve to be in this discussion...try to keep up.
This is ignorant and subservient to you?
