NEW The Aunt Jemima pancake and syrup brand is being killed by Quaker Oats after more than a century because it is based on racial stereotypes. The Aunt Jemima brand has racist origins as it comes from a vaudeville era song 'Old Aunt Jemima' and its character was based off the mammie – a black woman who worked for white families, nursing their children. Quaker Oats, which is a part of Pepsico, announced it was dropping the brand and working on a name change that was more 'appropriate and respectful' as the nation has been rocked by protests over the police-related slaying of George Floyd.
The nonsense PC culture that does nothing really to help anybody marches on with almost laughable (if it were not so tragic) results.
Aunt Jemima syrup and pancake mix will change its name and image as Quaker drops racial stereotype after 130 years to 'make progress toward racial equality'
