Couldn’t the GAP have just said, “Bite me! It is depicts an act of friendship.”?

Are they trying to brainwash the yutes with subliminal messages?

They are trying to make money. Kids want to be like the kewl kids.

> The very presence of the short black girl is gratuitous racism Racism is the only reason for her presence

Ouch. That's gonna hurt some widdle #BLM activist's feelers...

Racists always see the world thru their racist heart.

Dear Lord, the two girls in the middle are sisters!! Their mother was an actor on Grey’s Anatomy, and the sisters are performers in a youth cirque company. Mom’s not too happy with how the media has turned two loving sisters into a circus show about racism.

Adults today are idiots. “Leave them kids alone!”

Idiots with racism on the mind 24/7 will see it wherever they go.

We won’t survive them either.

I don’t refer to myself as left-handed. I prefer the term sinister.

I was thinking the same thing, height-ism, wee shorties vs the giants as I like to call them. I used to take the abuse for years of being called short, etc., the offenders did not like it a wee bit when I began to tell them that they as giants were very insensitive to the feelings of others. lol

The children in the ad are beautiful and perhaps this is how the world looks without racism, a world of equality looks, we lean on each other no matter our height or race. Of course differences ideology is another matter...such as those who want to continue to live and those whose sole goal in life is to murder others as per their ....ideology...

So did nuns in the catholic schools in the early sixties.

I need safe space...

I am left handed which is a much more severe problem

Professional bowlers have a distinct advantage over righties due to the lack of wear on their side of lane. You owe me 79 eleventy quadrillion dollars for the pain I'm experiencing as a righty. Even though I'm a lousy bowler. So there.
