Aunt Jemima brand retired by Quaker due to racial stereotype


Quaker Oats is getting rid of the Aunt Jemima pancake brand and logo.
A spokeswoman for Pepsico-owned Quaker Oats Company said it recognized Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype and that the 131-year-old name and image would be replaced on products and advertising by the fourth quarter of 2020.
