What I love, is that it was an Ojibwe woman that was illustrated by an Ojibwe. It was done out of honor and respect...

Then someone decided to get rid of her... Feel free to read into that.

This, the woman behind Aunt Jemima has a pretty progressive history as well. This just reaks of the usual problems we get from Liberal Virtue Signalling. Creating something incredibly offensive in a poor attempt to be less offensive.

Remember when Cartoon Network discontinued Speedy Gonzales because white people called the character racist, only to reinstate him when Latino and Hispanic watchers were like "Where's the only Looney Tune that represents us in anyway?"

Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?

As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They're not even pretending otherwise any more. I'll take oversensitive over that any day.

I know, I'm not saying I support the Republicans, but the Democrats don't actively want me dead so I reluctantly support them. However, I do ask people acknowledge the difference between Leftists and Liberals.

And the issue is that their attempt at being less racist, resulted in the erasure of black people.. which is in and of itself more racist than the logo ever was.
