The commerical was a stroke of genius. General Mills got exactly what they wanted - lots and lots of attention.


Totally agree. It's like their ad people saw the bump that JC Penney got after their two-moms mothers day ad, and said, how can WE get some of that?

Adorable ad. Don't believe for a second that it wasn't a FULLY calculated marketing move.

I find this viewpoint distasteful. Why the fascination with mixed children looking beautiful?


Genetic diversity is a very good thing - in terms of health and fitness, and it's pretty natural that mixed people are almost always very attractive. There's probably some evolutionary mechanism at work - who we're attracted to is generally rooted in some biological drive.


I have seen good-looking children who are the result of two unattractive people. I have seen two very attractive people have the offspring that looked like an iguana, that is all the features were misplaced on the child. I have seen mixed children who were unattractive and I have seen mixed children who are very attractive. The point is that genetics being what they are, you have no idea what a kid will look like until the final product is complete.


Yes, of course. But the overall trend is that genetic diversity = healthier, better looking people. It's not 100%, but more often than not it is the case.

Because they usually are.

Your sister's children may very well be beautiful. However, my child is absolutely gorgeous and he is not mixed. He is just straight up, straight up one race, and all his features fell in perfectly on his smooth bronzed skin. I think that a poster was making is that not all mixed kids are beautiful, or any more beautiful than non-mixed kids. My child being a perfect example

I disagree. The fascination with how mixed children look is pretty gross (not to mention that mixed adults are usually average in the looks dept).

Constantly using the word racist (and calling someone one) doesn't matter it so.


Calling someone a racist doesn't make it so. Being against interracial marriage, however, makes someone racist. The denial or inability to be honest with oneself doesn't matter.

How about this? Why don't you go back and read *the entire statement*? Have you even done that or are you just piggy-backing on another person's beef?
