Just cause it didn't happen sooner doesn't mean it shouldn't happen at all.
Now onto Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima.

Somebody didnt read the articles in the OP I see...

Native American artist Patrick DesJarlait, of the Ojibwe tribe, redesigned the packaging in the 1950s to foster a sense of Indian pride, the Minnesota Reformer reported.

His son, Robert DesJarlait, told the outlet that the image which has been slammed by many as racist has become a paradox for Native Americans.

He was breaking a lot of barriers . . . Back in the 50s, nobody even thought about stereotypical imagery. Today its a stereotype, but its also a source of cultural pride, DesJarlait told the outlet.
