Uncle Ben's Rice has been Uncle Ben's Rice all my life. But I guess that's racists now. What a bunch a BS.

  Maybe they could go full circle..put a picture of a rice paddy on the box , and call it "L'il Kim's" rice...

I'm surprised they didn't cancel Uncle Ben completely. After all, there's a picture of a black man on the box you know.

  Perhaps they can use this container and just relabel it RICE.  After all, to make it fair & balanced, the fellow pictured is black AND white !

I should've known after what happened to Aunt Jemima.

I don't get why they'd want to kill a hundred year old brand, that put a black on the label, back when there were no blacks on any branding....

China has a toothpaste called "Darkie"  shows a black fellow with really large white teeth on the tube.....I understand they changed it to Darlie.....but hey, we'd expect the Chinese to be politically correct right?  I mean, that's what Communism is all about, right?

I bought a few things of Jemima
and Ben some time back to aggravate
some people that were semi blocking
the aisle at the grocery store while
they were grumbling about racist
this and that.
I don't normally buy Uncle Ben
anything. I like Zataran's way
better.
I'll probably eventually use the
product and save the packages
and refill them with what I
normally use just to be able to
have the objectionable packaging
for viewing pleasure
