Even though the Aunt Jemima brand started waaaaay back when using former slaves to depict wholesome, all-natural cooking with “that special something” (i.e., Uncle Ben’s rice, Rastus on the Cream of Wheat box) was pretty common, it’s clear that any brand association between Aunt Jemima and slavery was discarded a long time ago.
Not like its any different over here in Asia where foreign foods are often considered inedible until some TV show praises a particular dish.
Apparently if one country has a shitty practice, another country doing the same thing means it’s totally okay and not a big deal.
Besides which, this is a complete false equivalence. No one in Japan was turning their noses up to pizza and roast beef like they were to kimchi and dwenjang.

I don’t think he wanted to defend the practice but give an example for this behaviour in other regions…
