Products being pulled from store shelves due to racial stereotypes used in branding

This week Pepsico parent company of Quaker Oats pulled its Aunt Jemima brand products off the market admitting the origins of the marketing strategy were derived from a racial stereotype.  The makers of Uncle Ben's Rice and Cream of Wheat are also acting to remove decades old racially offensive caricatures from their packaging.  Even venerable insurer Lloyds of London felt compelled to issue an apology this week for doing business with slave traders back in the 18th and 19th centuries.  More mea culpas are certain to come as the corporate soul-searching continues.
