The tweet, which Clorox (CLX) since deleted, showed a Clorox bottle made up of the new emojis released by Apple (AAPL, Tech30) as part of this week's iOS 8.3 update. Clorox tweeted, "New emojis are alright but where's the bleach."
Apple's new iOS 8.3 release consists of 300 new emojis, including kissing lips, googly eyes and a smiling poop (we wish we were making that up). But they also include racially diverse emojis, including cartoon faces with brown and black skin.

Whew! For a moment I thought something happened to a tween.
BTW, I agree... The uproar over every imagined slight nowadays is ridiculous.

“Social Media” is long past a name-change to “Stupid People.”

Someone has really thin skin. Clorox ought to bleach away the PC. Be different. Be white.

In all of the emojis that Clorox used in its graphic, there’s not a single human one, let alone an ethnic one. Some people are waking up just looking for some way to be offended.

lol, if they tried to use “Be White” as a slogan, they would really be in deep poop Clorox spokesman: It's bleach, it makes things white — it's so popular that the verb to bleach is literally defined as ‘to make whiter or lighter in color, as by exposure to sunlight or a chemical agent; remove the color from’ that's why we say “Be White, Use Clorox”.
IOW, make it about the product and illustrate that "removing the color" is precisely the definition of 'bleach' while making the race-baiters look like idiots.

No, that's the stuff you use in your eyes after catching a glimpse of Hillary.
.....or in your ears after listening to Obama.
