Looks to me like Kelloggs does not discriminate against Corn Pops of a different color. So, what is this really about?

Kellogg’s will redo the art on Corn Pops cereal boxes after a customer complained about the racially insensitive imagery on Twitter.
The controversial cereal boxes show cartoon Corn Pops playing at a mall. The characters shop, skateboard, play arcade games and take selfies in the seemingly light-hearted shopping center scene.
But science fiction and fantasy writer Saladin Ahmed was eating breakfast with his son when he noticed the lone brown corn pop character in the scene was a janitor waxing the mall’s floors.
“hey @KelloggsUS why is literally the only brown corn pop on the whole cereal box the janitor? this is teaching kids racism,” he asked Kellogg’s on Twitter.
Marvel Comics writer Saladin Ahmed took to Twitter to call out Kellogg's for its racially insensitive Corn Pops cereal box art.
He followed up the tweet with another that read, “yes its a tiny thing, but when you see your kid staring at this over breakfast and realize millions of other kids are doing the same...”
Kellogg's responded the same day, letting Ahmed know that the art had been redesigned, and would begin appearing on shelves soon.
Kellogg's said it has redesigned its Corn Pops cereal box art after Saladin Ahmed called out the company for "teaching kids racism."
“Kellogg is committed to diversity & inclusion. We did not intend to offend — we apologize. The artwork is updated & will be in stores soon,” the company said on Twitter.
Ahmed was satisfied with the company’s reply.

No janitor, or light janitor? Such suspense.
It’s about Marvel Comics writer Saladin Ahmed being a pain in the ARS. I am boycotting Marvel Comics.
A guy named Saladin suing in US courts has Jefferson spinning in his grave. The founders knew of the original Saladin.
John Quincy Adams too
“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.
Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).”
“Marvel Comics writer Saladin Ahmed”
He’s a SJW/jihadi apologist (I know, redundant) who writes for marvel comics.
His crap is directly responsible for a drop in sales, but marvel won’t give him his walking papers because they’re being “inclusive” and “socially woke” by keeping him.
they should make the janitor blatantly Scottish like groundskeeper willy and then wait for Scottish groups to complain.
Ahmed was satisfied with the company’s reply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They submitted.
Submit or Die
How racist is that?
So mister Ahmed believes that cereal box art has more influence on his son than his own parenting.
Geez SJW with absolutely NO life..they wake up everyday looking for the most stupidest sh*t to make a fuss about
Maybe it’s to see how high they can make someone jump. From Kellogg’s response? Pretty high.
Isn’t that special.
Nailed It !
Nah, just kidding. Irish are pussies.
So okay if there were brown Corn Pops goofing off and the only one working was a light one then?

““hey @KelloggsUS why is literally the only brown corn pop on the whole cereal box the janitor? this is teaching kids racism,” he asked Kellogg’s on Twitter.”
Because we gave him an aptitude test and that was all he was qualified for, Ahmed. It’s teaching kids reality, Ahmed.
When millions of kids are eating corn pops and staring at the cartoon box, maybe they should consider the millions that dont.
And unless the kid noticed the racist artwork on his/her own, then the only person teaching racism is this shallow dope
Yep. Certifiable douche canoe.
