Dumb as that argument is, they could've just changed the character to a regular black woman.

The history of the character and name is unsalvageable. And also people shouldn't be mascots.

The character had been redesigned at least a couple times. They changed the image to the woman in grey after previous complaints decades ago. The name "Jemima" was still an issue as well as the fact that a white owned company was still using a black "maid" as a mascot

The real conspiracy is that theyre now selling the same volume to make less pancakes.
The calorie per serving size is larger on the new one. It might be they just changed the instructions to make larger pancakes.

Less representation is a bad thing and now that the name is also gone most people will not know or want to buy the product.

RIP Aunt Jemima, you join the native girl fron Land O Lakes in the great beyond.

Note how Flauros deftly changed the focus of the argument.

Magnus says it's dumb to call indigenous Americans "Indians".

Flauros said "Oh so no one EVER called them Indians?"

Like that's not the argument bro. The argument is calling them "Indians" in the year of our dog 2021. You'll note we no longer have a baseball team called "the Indians" and it was that way since the end of 2020, not yesterday. It was literally one of the last holdouts.

Unless you wanna be the last holdout on this, in which case, be my guest. Even Riku had the late-arriving sense to edit his post.

Calling an entire racial group a different nationality casually because you're too ignorant to know or care about the difference? Yes.

I mean, you said it yourself:

  1. The majority of them prefer the word Indian.
  2. Native American was an inventory term created by white people in the US government without consulting a single tribe.
  3. Indian itself is a word made up by the British. The people who lived in India never used that word until the colonial British forced it on them.

I can kind of understand changing aunt jemima but uncle ben and the thousand lakes girl was pretty stupid.

But to be honest I can't really bring myself to give much of a shit about corporate food packaging marketing decisions. Dont know if it was intentional but this being in the news cycle was probably the biggest publicity campaign any of these products have ever seen.
