Pearl Milling Company? Is there a story behind it or is it completely random?Here's what I found: Pearl Milling Company was founded in 1888 in St. Joseph, Missouri, and according to a PepsiCo statement, it created the self-rising pancake mix that became known as Aunt Jemima. Quaker Oats purchased the Aunt Jemima brand in 1925. chrono625 posted... why didnt they just rename it Nancy Green and use the actual womans picture to advertise?Considering Nancy Green was a slave who was hired to portray the character I think it would have defeated the purpose tbqh --- ...

edit: I'm glad they changed it from what it was but... probably could have given it a few more moments of thought first. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ...

Neither was Aunt Jemima a slave in her current iteration but people argued that she basically was because she, at one point, was depicted as more mammy-like. Even though she wasn't anymore. But she was at some point. But not any more. But that still makes it racist.
I guess... I never understood it. apparently black women with lipstick and curly hair are slaves or something. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The name isn't very appealing, but at least it doesn't have racial ties to it.
For the record, it is possible to have an ethnic minority mascot without them being exploited. In the case of Aunt Jemima though, her legacy is a very unflattering one and I don't begrudge them getting rid of the character. ... Copied to Clipboard!
