Aunt Jemima syrup has been replaced with the whitest-sounding brand name ever

Nothing screams "inclusion and diversity" like erasing all trace of black icons from the products we use every day.

Last year, Quaker Oats (owned by Pepsi) made quite a stir when they announced they were cancelling the 131-year-old Aunt Jemima brand because it was "based on a racial stereotype."

Yep, these corporate wokes immediately thought of racism when they saw a smiling black woman and decided the best thing for black empowerment was to remove her face post-haste.

"Their answer is to erase my great-grandmother's history," said Aunt Jemima's great-grandson. "A black female... It hurts."

(Obviously he's a racist.)

Now, after long months of market research and aNti-rAciSm training, Quaker Oats has unveiled the new, glorious, wokest-of-woke names for the brand. May I present, "Pearl Milling Company!"

When I first saw this news, I bit my tongue and showed the new brand to my wife. This was her response:

"Because that doesn't sound like the whitest name ever..."

But that's aNti-rAciSm and rAciAl eQuiTy for you, folks. It's real racism rebranded in a socially acceptable way for the modern world.

Hope everyone has fun eating their "Pearl Milling" pancakes without having to think of black women! #pRoGreSS!

What a joke.
