UnfairRepresent 02/10/21 1:38:44 AM #8:	Fun fact: I literally had ever heard of this brand until the controversy. So I got like no stake in this Which made me laugh out loud at how mad people got.

Because that stereotype isn't in use anymore. And while the original Aunt Jemima loho looks pretty bad, the more recent ones have all just been "smiling black woman with a headscarf". While it may have roots in racism, there aren't loads of people walking into a store, looking at a bottle of Aunt Jemima, seeing her headscarf, and going into fits of rage. And to the 7 people who are doing that, they need to get their priorities checked.
