She was an icon for the brand, just as 'Uncle Ben". They're gone, but that Old white Quaker is still selling Oats, and Little Debbie is hawking her wares...
So what did all the Leftists accomplish, but to deprive (in Aunt Jemima's case) relatives royalty checks and make the marketplace more 'white' in terms of logos?

It lends flavor that is unmistakable in the Southwest.
