You know, the Cheerios commercial.
If you haven't, I suggest that you watch it and then watch this: kids reacting to the Cheerios commercial.
Actually, I don't suggest it. Rather, I beg you to watch the above video.
The commercial I'm talking about features a mixed race family. For the record, I'm not sure that I find this be a "statement". I rather find it incredibly normal. It's about time that media reflect the real people and families that we see everyday.
Unfortunately, not everyone feels this way. The comments on the YouTube page for the commercial were so hateful that they had to disable and delete them. I know, I know, "Katie, YouTube comments are always ridiculous". I won't argue with you there. But thousands of hateful or trepidatious responses to a freaking Cheerios commercial are far too many for my liking. Let's discuss.
