Im still traumatised from the whole gollywog incident on my marmalade.

Mr Kipling is also on their watch list. I think his ancestors were slave owners.
We're going to have to give up our potatoes next. The Incans want them back.
It will soon be the age where grandmothers/aunts themselves grew up in the convenience food age, so the use of the word as a reverence to cuisinary capability will be gone.
I don't remember if Roberston's was of particularly good quality , before the age of fructose syrup i guess, but think we used to keep the stickers, how did they come off the jar.
Duchy originals - a white privilege thing.
Colonel Sanders title was apparently attributed in Kentucky, so I still think the civil war confederate link is there.

So it seems it should have just been rebranded as Mr Ben's - could have added the strap line "His rice is magic".

I want to know what’s so original about microwave rice. They hardly invented the microchip did they?
Aunt Jemima has already been rebranded but GD wasn't being extremely online at the time so there wasn't a thread on it.

Apparently he was made up for the brand.
But what about the man from Del Monte? Didn't he own a lot of pineapple plantations tended to by exploited black workers from which HE made money and took the credit? Pineapple juice is racist.
Lilt. Lilt is a tropical drink which is made from mango, pineapple and lime flavourings which natives have to make by scaling palm trees and then distilling for rich white people to sell.
Grower's Harvest - who are the growers and who is harvesting the crops? I think you know the answer - black workers. Disgusting.
Don't get me started on Um Bongo.

they drink it in the congo ? Yeah that's factually wrong the drink of choice in the congo is lotoko
Extremely online? Wut?
Acutely aware of what garbage the perpeually angry twitter brigade are moaning about this time and being angry about them being angry about it!
surely racists would be put off by a black persons face being on the packaging?
I don't get how it's racist if people see it as a friendly face and isn't it fairly normal for people to only be paid a one off payment?
would it still be racist if it was an asian person instead since they are so well known for growing rice
I'm sure they called some of their white relatives uncle as well

wouldnt that be more like seeing them as part of the family rather than an insult.
