Biracial Cheerios commercial

[msmoneybags48]

I saw a Cheerios commercial with a little bi-racial girl asking her mother how to make a heart with Cheerios.  She put them on her father's chest.  I later heard that there were people trying to have the commercial taken off the air.  Why?  I thought it was cute and innovative.

There were a lot of racist remarks on twitter or their blogs. Sad, but racism is still alive.

I thought it was very good and she is a cutie. There is nothing wrong with being Biracial. I believe we all have a little bit of other races in us. There was only one perfect man and he died for us. I am part franch, indian, dutch and english. Some of my best friends over the years were of different races. There are so many racist out there and they are not pure of heart if nothing else.

Yes I remember hearing about those stupid comments from ignorant idiots.  People are so stupid.

I do noticed how they highlighted the interacial partnership of the family, but it's nothing to think too much about. The "heart healthy" point of the daughter directly pouring the cereal on the father was touching.

My take on this is that I am not racial by no means.  I like anyone as long as their personality is not offensive to me.  I have met many people of the same race as myself that I cannot stand.  I have also met other people of different races that I get along with great and I prefer them over the others of the same race as myself if they are arrogant, unethical, nosy, prying, etc.

I don't think I've seen it but if I did it honestly wouldn't even cross my mind if the person was biracial or not. :-

I get along with basically anyone and was raised to not make a difference between color.  It seems like the racial barriers are still alive and well in racial profiling.

I am a multiracial person who grew up with racist relatives.  What a joke!  I can somewhat understand the reason.  They lived in a small segregated town with segregated schools, and they wanted their children to get a good education.  They could pass for white, so they sent their kids to white schools.  That same small town has had a change in attitude, for the most part.  But racism still exists.  What a shame, especially for people who spread hatred with their mouths or with guns.  I never understood hate crimes.  They kill in the name of God, the same God who said "Thou shalt not kill."  I had a DNA test done on ancestry.com and the result was I am 70% Caucasian, 13% West African, and the rest a mixture of Middle Eastern and the Caucasus (part of old Russia).  My research found people from different races and different walks of life, ranging from people fleeing England for religious persecution to British royalty to Abraham.  Some of them were Southern landlords with slaves.  Many of these had children by their slaves.  That happened quite a bit.  So, I go along with the sentiment that most people in this country have an ethnic mix in their background.  These racists should have a DNA test done on themselves.

I think that some people are more likely to show their ignorance on social media sites (facebook, twitter etc.,) because they feel a little anonymous .  They would never (Most) of them say this to someone in person, but because you don't see them or know who they are they feel like they can spew this garbage out with no repercussions.

I also thought she was so cute and see nothing wrong with the commercial.  There are plenty of biracial couples in this world it is not like it is anything new.  My daughter is engaged.  He is black and has 2 children who call me grandma.

the commercial is absolutely adorable  just like most the cheerios commercial i was on the sites you-tube feed before they disabled comments and they really had me scratching my head  i honestly do not know why people are like that.
