Are they planning to use the same picture of "Uncle Ben" on the new packaging of "Ben's Original"?  Or are they planning to completely remove all Black people off all packaging to solve racism?
I think they plan on being "neutral"

We will change our name to Ben’s Original™ as well as remove the image on our packaging to create more equitable iconography. This change signals our ambition to create a more inclusive future while maintaining our commitment to producing the world’s best rice.
