That's racist? (where is the "That's racist" meme Mouse made of LJs offspring)
Kelloggs will change after complaints.
It was Saladin Ahmed, a Hugo Award-nominated novelist, who tweeted Tuesday that the Michigan snack maker’s Corn Pops box was laced with racism. On the back of the box, all the Corn Pops characters were yellow save one brown figure — who happened to be the floor-sweeping janitor. Apparently even in fictional breakfast universes, the visual message seems to be: Diversity is limited and the lone brown character is cast in the blue-collar job.
Now, Kellogg’s says in response, it will change the art of the box.
“Yes, it’s a tiny thing, but when you see your kid staring over this breakfast and realize millions of other kids are doing the same,” tweeted Ahmed, himself a Michigan native who was raised in a working-class Arab American community. Ahmed has said in interviews that his family was involved in Detroit arts and that his father, Ismael Ahmed, co-founded the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services in nearby Dearborn.

I think I'd stay away from Uncle Avantes Corn on a Stick booth
He's Mexican, so he can't afford Bose.
They don't look like it. I can't even see what's keeping those on his head.
In fact, I don't even see a cord going into his right ear phone.
I'm not the racially sensitive type but that is about as blatant as it gets. Although I do find the semen fountain far more disturbing.
Of course you saw the corn puffs as playing around in semen instead of milk.
tbh that is pretty racist![]()
Ugh, come on fellas. The corn pop was making an honest living. If it was looting or jumping a fence, then maybe, its racist.
Upper left corner one of them is getting corn rows like Kawhi
nice spot
Cultural appropriation!
Thankfully, they didn't make him black.
I will never ever get this need to play pretend. yes we are different, and it goes far deeper than just skin color.
We have a Mexican, a tall black guy, an Asian, an Arab.
Who.....is tHe basketball player, the terrorist, the computer wiz, works out in the field? That is simply how it is.
Give me the names of a great Mexican sprinter, yep.....never been one.
It is what it is, why people struggle with this as badly as they do....???? Who is that white NFL cornerbak today, yep.....there aren't any, why?
Pointing out the OBVIOUS differences shouldn't be racism it should be reality.
Avante wants a pass to stereotype all Arabs as terrorists
Stupid, are you really this damn dense?
You're on a bus with a Mexican, a Chinaman, some Okie a black guy and an cat in a turban and a filty ass beard. The cops get word a bomb is on this bus, and they only have a couple minutes before....BOOM~~~ Ok stupid, tell me which guy do they search first......well?
Depends. Who's holding the ticking piñata?
Dude, what happened in New York today? Was it a Mexican, an Asain, some okie or a black guy?
Just how damn stupid are you? What did the killer yell out?
Oh I already knew that any time someone goes on a killing spree your first thought is "must be the Muslim". No need for further racist rants
When did Muslim become a race stupid? Dude.....not a race...ok?
Dude, who doesn't think...."those Islamic freaks again"...anytime we see violence, well?
Living in central Cali if you hear some news about a stabbing, 99.9% of time it will be Mexican vs Mexican. If ya hear about a vicious dog attack, yep....pit bull....most the time. When we hear..."today in San Francisco 13 people died when a bomb went off in a......" who doesn't think.....Islamic idiots?
K, no need for further bigoted rants. We all get you by now
