    To expand on why Aunt Jemima was racist for those that don’t know: She was a stereotype of a servant caretaker, a caricature and not a person. Uncle Ben was the male servant version.

    Both were designed to be acceptable to southerners who still think black people should be servants even if they are no longer slaves. It was intentional, not accidental.
