HelpRe: Would a little Jemima be teased terribly in the U.S.?
in reply to a message by Megan
It's Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix, and yes, most children probably would know about it. You can still buy it, can't you? I'm not a pancake lover but when I do make them I make them from scratch, so I'm not up on what mixes are available.
Also, the term Aunt Jemima is a very rude term to use in connection with a black woman now, so that could be a problem, especially if the little girl herself was black or if she was white and her schoolmates were black.
Don't forget Jemima Puddleduck, that's not exactly something I'd want to be associated with either. :)
That said, I do think Jemima is kind of cute, in a goofy, comical kind of way. Good for a cat.
