Thank you for posting this link. The short article was very interesting. I hope TOTV folks see it. This discussion on Aunt Jemima et al is reminiscent of the debates regarding how Native Americans are depicted in sports such as Chief Wahoo and the Cleveland Indians or the Tomahawk chop. Some folks have no issue with these portrayals while others find them demeaning.
