I thought the breakfast gun went on the left side of the table?
No no, breakfast gun goes on the right side, what’s wrong is it’s laying the wrong way.
So from is in the left because there is for letters in left and four in fork. So what side does the gun go?
Reminds me of land o lakes butter. They got rid of the indian but they kept the land.
What I love, is that it was an Ojibwe woman that was illustrated by an Ojibwe. It was done out of honor and respect…
Then someone decided to get rid of her… Feel free to read into that.
This, the woman behind Aunt Jemima has a pretty progressive history as well. This just reaks of the usual problems we get from Liberal Virtue Signalling. Creating something incredibly offensive in a poor attempt to be less offensive.
Remember when Cartoon Network discontinued Speedy Gonzales because white people called the character racist, only to reinstate him when Latino and Hispanic watchers were like “Where’s the only Looney Tune that represents us in anyway?”
Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?
As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They’re not even pretending otherwise any more. I’ll take oversensitive over that any day.
THAT is absolutely the same “point” I made when I first saw it?!!
Ok, so, the person was bad to show, I guess, but now it’s an even better analogy to what the settlers did…
I honestly don’t know why “it’s bad to show”. Like, if the person on the packet isn’t a white man, it’s bad.
We had these growing up in Australia…
Like, that I get now, but it’s worth pointing out no kid in Australia obviously even knew what a “redskin” was. Hell, I thought Comanches and Apaches were snakes because of the Huey Cobra.
Wait a second… Oh my god, just realised a Blackhawk isn’t named after a hawk, this is also a native American peoples. Like the NHL team, duh. And that’s my wife’s second fav team because she thinks it’s a cool logo and “I’m glad they’re repping the native Americans.”
See?
Anyway, I strayed from my point. I really like seeing other cultures on stuff. Seems a shame to remove that stuff, kind of disingenuous or disrespectful. If there’s a dark history, no one’s researching that, they’re more interested in other things like buttering some toast and then deciding to put a documentary about native Americans on because of the cool image.
Maybe if your only reference to a culture is an insulting one, they’d rather you not have an impression at all. Though I dunno much about Australia. That bunch of bogans seem to like people to think bad about them.
All that drama for dyed corn syrup.
I might be the 10th dentist but I grew up with the fake stuff and enjoy it far more. I didn’t understand why all of the “nice syrups” tasted awful comparatively.
I really wish someone would create a “loud honky” brand mascot…
Some board room somewhere
Bossman "Alright team, what should we change to ensure our company is not seen as racist according to white people on twitter?
Person 1 “Increase represtation of different races and cultures across our brands?” ejector seat activated
Person 2 “Hire someone qualified to have this conversion?” ejector seat activated
Person 3 "Get rid of Aunt Jemima so people don’t accosiate our brand with black people anymore?
Bossman “brilliant! Someone get me a raise for coming up with that.”
It’s not about associating the brand with black people. Aunt Jemima was a mammy, straight out of a ministrel show. She was a racist stereotype of the loving and attentive house slave
They could have come up with a new character…instead they got rid of it all together. Just say its Jemima’s niece who carries on the recipe.
