The Cheerios family is back.
The breakfast cereals new Super Bowl ad features the same fictional biracial family that sparked a conservative backlash last year.
SNIP
(On Twitter, MSNBC promoted this article with this message:
Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family.

Sooo many things I’m supposed to be torqued about I just can’t keep up. Who are these deep thinkers that decide this? /s
They don't like mixed-gender couples, neither.
I once attended a party attended by quite affluent Europeans and blue blood Americans...Some were discussing their ancestry and happened to ask about MY ancestors...
I quietened the party somewhat when I said, “My ancestors probably scalped your ancestors...”
Principles have nothing to do with race. Lack of principles does.
You’re a Nazi?
Liberals are all closet racists, almost certainly feel privately guilty for not living up to their own standards (cognitive dissonance), and as is typical for libs either assume everyone else is just like them (which is also why they don’t want anyone to have guns), or Projects their feelings onto conservatives to make themselves feel less guilty about it.
It was after all the Dems that wrote the Jim Crow laws, which included clauses about miscegenation.
As someone who married a woman of Indian (red-dot) origin, and a conservative, the libs would have the world believe I either don’t exist or am utterly in the minority.
I am Ani-Yun-Wiya......
welcome to america
MSNBC has edited the article dropping the word ‘conservative’ from the reference to backlash.
10:55 p.m. EST Earlier, this account tweeted an offensive line about the new Cheerios ad. We deeply regret it. It does not reflect the position of msnbc.
10:56 p.m. EST We are deleting the earlier offensive tweet. It does not reflect msnbc's position and we apologize.
Michelle Malkin is a force of nature! Over in Twitterland I’d hashtag #WellDone
*LOL* My people have been in “America” for tens of thousands of years....
Ani-Yun-Wiya is what the white man knows as Cherokee....
I just found out I am part neanderthal, I am Bi-racial! And Proud of it!!!
My Neanderthal ancestors were wiped out, but I bear no grudges at the humans that did so because it was a long time ago.
Why can’t the socialist control freaks get over all this race crap...
[ Blacks have more of a problem with interracial marriages than whites do, Exhibit A is the crap that Adam Housely and his wife Tamera Mowry had slung at them from the compassionate black community. ]
Remember that one couple that were blatantly insulted at the rental car agency by a black man because they were an interracial couple !!
Nothing in the linked article (see below) says anything about conservatives. Of course for MSNBC, conservative and Nazi are interchangeable.
"Within days of the ads upload, commenters responded with references to Nazis, troglodytes, and even racial genocide, simply because the ad featured a child with a white mother and black father."
Well said.
Why not?
I came very close to marrying a girl from the Dominican Republic, but she came to her senses at the last minute.
She used to joke about being Heinz 57 when it came to her racial heritage—African, Caribbean, South American.
Wonder what that would’ve made our kids.
That blatant lie is more offensive than the original ignorant tweet.
Is that really ‘Mr. Michelle’?
