They've already changed the Aunt Jemima image. When I was a kid, she was definitely a stereotype, an overweight mammy with a do-rag on her head. They modernized her to look like an attractive black woman some years ago.
So is it the name that's deemed stereotypical? What are they gonna name it now? "Auntie J?"

Is/was Jemima a typical slave name? I had an ancestor named Jemima and she wasn't black.

I’d rather have Aunt Jemima’s pancake recipe than some skinny white vegan bitch.
