Cheerios ad angers racists. - Polidicks

[QUOTE]A new Cheerios commercial featuring a biracial family has prompted a debate over race in America after drawing a host of ugly remarks online. The commercial features a biracial daughter asking her white mother if Cheerios are good for your heart, and then dumping a batch on her black father’s chest to playfully help his heart while he is sleeping on the couch. Some of the reaction was so offensive that General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, disabled the comments section on the YouTube video of the commercial. General Mills has announced it will not be pulling the ad due to any controversy.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.today.com/news/cheerios-ad-mixed-race-family-draws-racist-responses-6C10169988"]Source[/URL] Seriously why is this even an issue.

Do some people seriously find offense to seeing biracial families on TV? And what the hell were the "stereotypes" that woman was claiming being shown in the ad?

Anyone have some samples of the original comments before they were disabled?

"this commercial is BULLSHIT, they have a NIGGER and a white women, OUTRIGHTEOUS" "Ok racistman, we get it, your grr about it, you can stop now" "I won't have no niggers near white women in tv! Thats nastier than gay incest!" "Do you want your bibby back or are you going to keep bitching" "yes i want bibby momma"

[QUOTE=Generic Monk;40898893]him? hahaha you thought 'general mills' was a person, gj[/QUOTE] I can't help but imagine "general mills" being a testosterone ridden, completely ripped military general with a massive cigar, a beret and a small bowl of cheerios by his side.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;40898920]Still is fucking stupid that it caused an uproar so bad the comments were disabled.[/QUOTE] It caused an uproar in youtube comments YOUTUBE COMMENTS A "debate" in youtube comments does not mean that the entirety of the US is questioning if biracial relationships are OK or not. Who gives a shit about what happens on the internet anonymously.

It's so fucking stupid... [I]'Oh no, an interracial couple, with a offspring..' Let me just check the [/I][IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/clock.png[/IMG][I], oh look, it's 2013[/I]

Some people aren't very Cheerio about this...

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them were spouting that 'white genocide' nonsense.

Good for the racists. If everyone mixes then what will I polarize my Sim Citys by?

Americans take their cherrois very seriously

Hadn't they mentioned the whole interracial family business, I wouldn't have even noticed Is it really a deal at all? [img]http://facepunch.com//fp/emoot/psyduck.gif[/img]

I thought that advert was cute, that this is even producing such responses is disgusting.

Warning: Cheerios may cause racism.

This was 100% /pol/. No shit, they had a thread on it and everything.
