Help[Opinions] Warning: intentional use of slurs for discussion purposes
in reply to a message by Anneza
I believe, and somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the use of "Aunt Jemima" as a slur would be in a similar vein to "Golliwog."
Eg: "That Golliwog over there" vs "Aunt Jemima over there." - at least, this is how I see it being used, as opposed to directly to face? I'm unsure. This is the closest comparison I can think of. The Golliwog's were used for Robinson's Marmalade in the 70s at least, maybe before then. It seems Aunt Jemima might be utilised in a similar fashion.
Is this accurate?
