First they came for Uncle Ben, but I wasn't an Uncle Ben convert so I did nothing. Then they came for Aunt Jemima, but my aunt's name is Rose, so I did nothing. Then they came for Eskimo Pies, but I prefer Good Humor, so I did nothing. Then they came for me, and I was hungry and there was nothing left to eat.
"Eskimo Pies" are now deemed racist by the PC nazis and the company, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, is changing its name. Perhaps they will call them "Inuktitut Pies" in honor of the Inuit language that refers to this group of indigenous people thusly.
The chocolate on the outside, vanilla on the inside ice cream treat is the latest brand to cowardly cave to the virtue signaling cretins who scour the bowels of society to find something to complain about in order to feel superior. Other than that, they do nothing to improve the world.
The company put out a silly statement:
We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory. This move is part of a larger review to ensure our company and brands reflect our people values.Last week, Quaker Oats announced it would change the name of Aunt Jemima due to a “racial stereotype.”
Along with the name change, the company will alter the treat’s marketing scheme, which traditionally featured a young boy dressed as an Eskimo in a snowy environment.
The great-grandson of the most recent "Aunt Jemima," Larnell Evans Sr., is upset that his great-grandmother, Anna Short, has been removed from the boxes and bottles. She was discovered by Quaker Oats, the company that owns the brand, in 1935.
"She worked for that Quaker Oats for 20 years. She traveled all the way around the United States and Canada making pancakes as Aunt Jemima for them," Evans, the 66-year-old Marine Corps vet told Patch Chicago. "This woman served all those people, and it was after slavery. She worked as Aunt Jemima. That was her job. ... How do you think I feel as a Black man sitting here telling you about my family history they're trying to erase?"

Yes, but they feel good about themselves erasing your history because now it supports what they think about America--that we are a racist country and they are the good guys, even if they have to crack open a few heads to show it.
Evans explained that removing his great-grandmother from the products is "an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history."
Quaker Oats also plans to remove Mrs. Butterworth and Uncle Ben from their branding.

So what might be next?
How about the Red Man Chewing Tobacco, established in 1904? They used to advertise on the side of barns and were endorsed by the baseball player, Nap Lajoie: "Lajoie chews Red Man, ask him if he don't."
And then we have Indian Motorcycles, America's first motorcycle manufacturing company? They were established in 1901 in Springfield, Mass. According to the PC nazis, they need to change their name. How about the Native American Motorcycle Manufacturing Reservation?
It's getting crazy out there and too many cowards are going along with the nonsense of the PC nazis.
If everything you see smacks of racism, then maybe it's you who has a problem. Maybe you are the racist.
