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."

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


Fixed that for you. You're welcome.

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.

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.

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.

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.


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

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

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.

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