The logo of the brand features an African American woman named after a character from minstrel shows from the 19th century.

“We recognize Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype,” a statement from Quaker Foods North America, the PepsiCo unit that owns Aunt Jemima, said, according to NBC. (https://nbcnews.to/3d94a2i)
