Packet rice brand Uncle Bens, a staple in cupboards and larders across Britain, is set to be re-branded amid anti-racism protests across the world by the Black Lives Matter movement.
In a move they hope will help put an end to racial injustices, bosses behind the well-known brand have today revealed they are set to evolve the visual identity of its products, which are sold in thousands of supermarkets and shops across the UK.
It comes as bosses behind American syrup brand Aunt Jemima, which has in the past been available in UK supermarkets, also announced they would be changing the brands packaging.
Since 1946, Uncle Bens products, including its much-loved microwave rice packets, have featured a picture of a well-dressed elderly African-American man said to be based on a famous head waiter at a Chicago hotel.
Meanwhile Mars Inc., the company who owns the brand, say the name Uncle Ben refers to an African-American rice-grower famous for the quality of his rice.

Yeah...but the lefty white Supremacists want Aunt Jemima gone
My own brother says Aunt Jemima logo is racist because she is depicted in a doo rag.
I laughed and said wait till all the Caucasian women wearing babushkas find out they are stealing black culture!
Black people being banned is racial justice?
Just noticed that the author of this article is the FR webmaster’s namesake.
Never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are and how easily they are triggered.
Stop making sense!
This is like the white snowflakes of antifa burning down black neighborhoods in the name of anti-racism.
I have come to the conclusion the the majority of humanity has no critical thinking skills and will take any bait meant to make them fight among them selves and grind them into submission.
What could be driving that? /s
Consider the percentage of humanity these days that have abandoned the traditional family and has no basic foundation in terms of character as a result. The skills are there but not developed due to absence of teaching.
I had no idea.
I like your homepage!
Basically most people ignore their own values or have no core values,
they just blow around in the political wind.
The Roar Of The Masses Could Be Farts
You would not want to show a black man doing something productive.
The skills are there but not developed due to absence of teaching.
What could go wrong?/s
Sure, eliminate any trace of blacks in the world and that will eliminate racism.
Then theyll be complaining next that blacks are underrepresented in advertising.
Its a lose/lose situation.
“Then we need to change the name of New York, named after a visit by major slave trader...”
This is getting ridiculous. Just petition to change the name of the NY Yankees and all of this will go away.
Someone tell me why the snowflakes are tearing down Christopher Columbus statues.
Wasn’t he the 1st illegal immigrant? a Dreamer?
Just keep giving them Oscars and it all goes away apparently.
