The ad isn't racist. When white people say something good about black people then there is always an idiot who screams racism. When white people say bad things about blacks then of course someone will scream racism.
I thought this ad was very cute and sweet.

I actually seen it many times and never seen wrong. Then news came out about peep mad at commercial. Funny I never noticed it was interracial. Shows how much it's normal to me!

Re: Cheerios Ad
The simple fact that this cute ad would be put in question by some is revolting. Then indeed, you don't see that much opening from Hollywood productions either. I think media have a huge responsibility they don't always show they're up to: they should simply say "The hell with racists! let's just do what's right! and moreover, let's adjust our message (and ad) to the tendencies society is taking, if just that!" If they were to do so, things would change rapidly, I suppose, although I must say I am not from the US, and I can only judge things from the outside.

It's just sad that something as innocuous as this can still stir up controversy in the 21st century. Racism is a curse.
Let's hope that the advertisers stand firm - it wasn't that long ago that they would drop an entire show if it upset racists.
