(Headline USA) The Uncle Ben’s rice brand is getting a new name: Ben’s Original. Parent firm Mars Inc. unveiled the change Wednesday for the 70-year-old brand, the latest company to drop a logo criticized as an alleged racial stereotype.

Some on Twitter objected to the change:

Uncle Ben's Rice changing it's name to Ben's Original Rice is some of the dumbest and most hypocritical sh1t I've ever seen. Is there anybody in the world that thinks this actually solves racism?#UncleBens pic.twitter.com/ZmOTC6d2ZN
