Aunt Jemima brand will change name, remove image that Quaker says is ‘based on a racial stereotype’
Aunt Jemima brand will change name, remove image that Quaker says is ‘based on a racial stereotype’
quote:
“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype,” Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer of Quaker Foods North America, said in a press release. “As we work to make progress toward racial equality through several initiatives, we also must take a hard look at our portfolio of brands and ensure they reflect our values and meet our consumers’ expectations.”
quote:
The company also announced it will donate at least $5 million over the next five years “to create meaningful, ongoing support and engagement in the Black community.”

They just figured this out?

They'll rename it Aunt Karen.

And then they came for Aunt Jemima, and there was no one left to speak for her ya dig

That’s dumb. What’s gonna separate them from other brands. I know I looked for aunt Jemima because I envisioned a old black woman making me great pancakes.

That’s true. Nothing makes a man hungry quite like the sight of a big ole black bitch with some pancakes

But they are keeping "Quaker" right? The wholesome image of honest religious white folks? 
Its Aunt Jemima that's gotta go
Now who wants any old white MF syrup??

Honestly this one was about as obvious as it gets. This woman is basically in everyone’s cabinets at home. Instead everybody wants to hunk a piece of concrete down.

Natchez, you're next.

I can see both sided on this one. I think it' was borne from what was a positive association but the 'mammy' angle is pretty fricking outdated.
