I don't understand this, or the whole "Aunt Jemima is racist" thing. Perhaps I'm insensitive to the issue, but is it unacceptable for non-white people to be used as mascots now? Why?

Because whites are becoming less and less the dominant race as much as they are trying to win it back, a la MAGA.
Using a stereotype is lazy marketing. It may have been acceptable but it is starting to not be as much now.
If you can't put any other race as your logo/mascot, you're probably stereotyping or being racist.
The products still around are just so recognizable that it is taking time to correct them all.
