The owner of the Uncle Ben’s brand of rice says the brand will “evolve” in response to concerns about racial stereotyping. The announcement Wednesday morning comes just hours after Quaker Oats said it was retiring its Aunt Jemima brand of syrup and pancake mixes.

I honestly don’t remember ever eating Uncle Ben’s Rice, but still not mad though.

The word “Uncle” was once used to describe elderly submissive slaves.

You can argue that Aunt Jemima's original logo was partly racist.
Uncle Ben looks legit tho. What can be racist about a man in a bowtie.
