Every Aunt Jemima bottle must be preserved. We cannot forget our past. I'm sure museums would take them.

I call people I don't know Uncle and Aunt. In my culture it's more respectful to call someone you don't know that instead and I'm not white. This is some weird kind of shit to get upset about.

Seems like the sky's the limit, as long as stereotypes are involved.

My random guess is the Rush Hour series.

Whatever they end up renaming Aunt Jemima to, let me know. It's literally the best maple syrup on the market

The bottom of the article says that white people used to call black men and women Uncle and Aunt because they didn't think they were worthy of being called Mr or Mrs and that's part of the reason they're changing it though. I just think it's weird that being called Uncle and Aunt is seen as racist/disrespectful but that wikipedia link from the other person makes more sense.

There's never been a wave this hard before, plus Goodell has shown his hand in this and is willing to cowtow so he doesn't get cancelled.
