Racists Very Upset Over Interracial Family in Cute Cheerios Commercial

[Anonymous]

I saw this commercial a few days ago, and couldn't get over (A) how unbelievably adorable the little girl is, and (2) how nice it is to see a mixed family in a national campaign by a large company (I'm mixed myself, thought not of the same mix).

I wonder what Ms. Anti-Interracial Marriage poster would say - is she worried about "cultural discord" between Wheaties-loving families and Cheerios-loving families?

In any case, it's an adorable commercial. Really incredible that in this the year 2013, Cheerios has been forced to block comments due to an influx of racists spouting their vile, antiquated hate.

Also if you wish, you can give Cheerios some love on Facebook. The positive comments are now beginning to take over.

I almost welcome the spewing hate, if only because it exposes the cretins and motivates the rest of us to take positive action.

Gotta go buy me some Cheerios.

Very sweet commercial. I am also mixed and it IS nice to see a family that looks like mine did.

I'm the "Ms. Anti-Interracial Marriage poster". The video is cute, but if I'm being honest, it looks like Cheerios is trying too hard.

12:55 again.

BTW, OP were you surprised to see that "racists" would be upset with the commercial? I would think upset would be their natural reaction. It's pretty weird that you find their anger "incredible". The commercial is the definition of what racists hate.

No, you're not being honest. You are a racist.

Im mixed myself so it was refreshing to see a mixed family on tv however I will have to agree with the Ms. Anti- Interracial marrige poster that Cheerios is trying way to hard. The commercial itself wasnt all that great.

Cute family. It doesn't surprise me that the xenophobes come out of the woodwork, especially in anonymous forums.

Especially after some people listed "interracial relationships" in the "things I'm secretly against (sic)" thread on THIS forum. Disgusting.

I am not part of a mixed family but certainly know many and see many everywhere these days. I think its really normal and probably don't always even "note" it in my mind. So, I have to say, I think its really odd that this is "trying too hard" in some poster's eyes. What does that even mean? Wake up folks, this is fast becoming who and what America is and that is a GOOD thing. It is NOT trying to hard at all.

Sounds like these PP think the "normal" setting is a white family with opposite-sex parents; showing a different kind of family is "trying too hard."
