Cheerios is known for those cute, heartwarming commercials that tell viewers of the benefits they'll receive if they eat the cereal.
Well a new commercial, as innocent as the rest, has caused quite a controversy. Just watch and see for yourself...
Can you guess why? The family portrayed in the commercial is interracial.
Once posted on YouTube, the video caused such a stir that the comment section was turned off as many left racially charged responses.
Seriously?
I'm no dummy. Of course racism of all varieties still exists whether we accept it or not. Even though I know this I was still left dumbfounded that people would be so ignorant and childish as to do something like this.

Who are we to judge other people - whether actors or not - based on what their families look like?
THIS IS 2013 NOT THE JIM CROW-ERA! WAKE UP PEOPLE! It's such a sad commentary on our nation that, even though its people say they're accepting, they're still trapped in the Dark Ages.
It's amazing that even in these "modern times" there are still plenty of bigots out there.
