I liked Aunt Jemima as a brand mascot, so it's a little annoying. I'm unlikely to buy the associated products in the absence of that mascot.

This.
I also don't really care either way though, since it has a racist origin.
Only real concern is the apparent "slippery slope" where now whackos think it's open season on canceling anything w/ a minority image/branding. I heard they're going after Uncle Ben now? WTF was wrong with that?
That's the real problem...even when these lunatics sort of have half a point and you're willing to concede something to them, it just encourages them to push further and further, reason be damned.

Pretty much, plus getting minorities off packaging has long been a KKK thing.
