Brands changing racist names POLL

Quaker Oats announced that it would make changes to its Aunt Jemima brand and Mars Inc. rolled out similar plans regarding its Uncle Ben’s brand. A new YouGov survey of more than 4,700 US adults shows 46 percent support a brand replacing an icon related to a racial stereotype (e.g., name, logo, image).
