I think that it does sound innocent and nostalgic, however, it does stand out in many ways in present climates - it is a pity that we now see the world like that.

Stuff like this makes me feel someone has way too much time on their hands. Think of all the more useful positive changes that could be made. Did someone anywhere on the planet really complain about fictional Uncle Ben? Actually, I just made a point elsewhere on t'web about if you have a white European name but are not a white European I know you have had something taken from you, by 'my' people. So it's not like I can't have deep thoughts... maybe Ben could've been 'Ben X' like Malcolm? Or Uncle Hakim maybe? But really, dude is fictional, stuff like this isn't helping 'him'.

It's a bit like shortening the name of Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Pudding.

i dont see why it was changed could still have called uncles bens rice.
And had no face on it.
In fact it could have had more than one face.
