It might not be racist if it had just ripped off Miss Cleo, a famous 'psychic' who claimed to be Jamaican. Hilariously enough, the image used on the site is from a French Toast Crunch commercial parodying Miss Cleo (incidentally, it looks like she is now suing General Mills for the ad).
So the op has taken a ridiculous stereotype as the starting point. I wouldn't be that offended.
But jamming another black stereotype on top by calling it "ask jemima" an obvious reference to Aunt Jemima. People already consider that imagery to be racist. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/racially-insensitive-article-1.2270225 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/racially-insensitiv... I think combining both of these together so haphazardly is a pretty bad idea.
Anyway, to the op: best of luck with your company.
