Yes read the article, and partly playing to the Pendejo name.
But sweeping them aside perpetuates the miss-use for slang of what is a warm familial term.
The comparison against Colonel Sandaers was partially 'cos he looks like Rolf Harris, and also because he looks like something from the Confederate States i.e. Slave owners.
Dr Oetker was a bit of fun.... Foot rub, plasters or medicine fine... But cake mix!
I know you’re joking but for anyone that may latch onto this sort of argument...there’s a fairly obvious difference in that Levi Roots owns his own company and it’s his branding on his sauces etc. Whereas Uncle Ben is an entirely made up marketing construct which seemingly plays on historical US terms for older black people (which admittedly I didn’t know until today). I can’t comment on the other one as don’t know the brand
It doesn’t strike me as the biggest deal in the world or particularly derogatory but then I’m not black, so I don’t really know. It’s not really a surprise though nor does it really matter - so meh

Given Herbie Hancock's "Rock it" had to have a video using robots with the man himself appearing via back ground TV screen
Yet Uncle Ben's is one of the best known brands / logos worldwide.
Also in this country it is not unknown for any old person to be referred to as granddad or grandma whether or not actually related to the person...
Surely the brand is a positive image making progress?
