Land O'Lakes Removing Native American Woman From Packaging After 92 Years

One step closer to, frankly, them being completely removed from American consciousness. This move isn't necessarily a good thing.

I don't think we have this product in Canada. It's good to see a Native North American Indian, even on a product. We see so few of them. Leave it as it is.

They could put Lando Calrissian on the box instead. I don't think the Armenians would object.

She’s not a “Native American” because the Indians didn’t refer to themselves as the “people of Amerigo Vespucci.” If we are going to call them by some wrongass name, just fucking call them Indians.
Native American is just as wrong as Indian, but it also allows you to be smug about how “respectful” you are to them — by calling them some new but still totally fucking wrong name. Fuck you!

I know you were being racist but I'll answer seriously anyway.
They could just use her real name Anna Short Harrington since that is who the character was based off of to honor her work with Quaker Oats.
However, their history is very complex with minstrel show roots.

When I was in high school, one of my friend's mother demonstrated something similar to the trick in R11's video. Only she folded the box to make the Land O'Lakes girl's knees look like her breasts. To this day, another of my friends still calls it Land O'Lakes Titty Butter.

Jemima is not and was never a stereotypical African-American name. It is a biblical name. And, has been common in upper-class British culture for years. One of my upper-class Southern Belle ancestors was named Jamima.
The connection between Aunt Jamima and minstrelsy is the song and subsequent character "Old Aunt Jemima" which was actually written by an African-American comedian Billy Kersands, who has a mixed reputation sort of like Tyler Perry, today.

Where did the linking of Native American and butter come from in the first place, it’s not like they have an inherent connection anyways. They had buffalo, which I’m sure they didn’t milk, and then horses when the Europeans came, but they weren’t big into the cows, the dichotomy is cowboys and Indians after all.

I grew up in California in the '60s; we didn't have Land-O-Lakes back then. So when I moved to the DC area in '78, I discovered it. (And also found out for the first time that east coast and west coast butter is shaped differently.) Anyway, I'd never heard about the Indian tits thing until someone showed me ... by cutting out the breast area and folding the package so that the knees fit in that window. So even though it's a juvenile thing that kids do, some of us who never had the opportunity didn't find out about it until later in life.

I agree. I think it was around 2008 or 2009, when the campus newspaper at my college started allowing some students to write guest pieces. One guest piece was from a woman complained about the Land O'Lakes packaging. I can't remember why she was annoyed, but I thought her complaint was ridiculous since there was nothing nothing disrespectful about the image on the packaging.
