Aunt Jemima is being removed because she is fat

This is weight shaming at its worst.

Do your homework, that's not why. Look at what the history is with the image they chose to use.

You watch a skinny model will replace a hard working chef just because she was fat.@HannahSky

No she’s getting removed because of racism.

She represents a stereotype of maiden slaves that cooked for families.

And although they have redone the label.

The connotation to the racist slur still stands.

Hence why they’re removing it altogether.

So you are demeaning maids? It’s an honorable occupation. I suppose you want her on food stamps instead.@dellaldila

She made a delicious syrup and probably was one helluva cook. Why is this evil ? Why can’t we honor her talents ? I don’t think a 100lb woman In yoga pants would sell as much syrup as the happy big smiles motherly type.

I do love yogas. Just not selling me syrup

And ty so much for another Jemima story
