🐱 Racist Corn Pops?

http://time.com/4997485/kelloggs-corn-pops-cereal-boxes-racism-saladin-ahmed/


Kellogg's said it has updated the artwork on its Corn Pops cereal boxes after the company was accused on Twitter of teaching racism.


"Hey @KelloggsUS why is literally the only brown corn pop on the whole cereal box the janitor? this is teaching kids racism. 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…" novelist Saladin Ahmed posted in multiple tweets Tuesday.

The illustration on the box shows various yellow cartoon cereal pieces performing different activities. One character, who is cleaning the floor, appears to be a darker color than the others.

A few hours later, the Kellogg's Twitter account responded to the initial tweet writing, "Kellogg is committed to diversity & inclusion. We did not intend to offend – we apologize. The artwork is updated & will be in stores soon."

Who knew that someone named Saladin would be such a fucking pussy.

Ironically his Black Bolt comic is one of the best Marvel things out right now and not political screeching about Drumpf Nazis. I don't know if he has the complete lack of self-awareness needed to be a cow if he has the common sense to put a lid on it at his job. Most cows wouldn't be able to handle separating their politics and their work.

Doesn't change the fact that he's a grown man who looks at the back of cereal boxes

Maybe he was getting shit from his coworkers for not screeching enough about "Drumpf Nazis" so he used this scandalous cereal box art to signal to his colleagues that he's still "down with the cause".

Oh and he’s a white dude

He looks exactly like I'd expect a grown man who eats children's breakfast cereal to look.

We need to hack the fuck out of his twitter in the way we usually do, by just reporting the dumb shit he says on it.

Triggered by cereal in the current year. No surprise. Just sadness.

Kellogg's has apologized. So cereal collectors, get your boxes before the non-diverse Corn Pops box hits the shelves.

You know, I have to wonder why Kellogg's did this in the first place. No one noticed this could be a problem?

If you take a look at the whole box you'll see that every Corn Pop is a ninja save for the janitor who doesn't have a headband tie sticking out of his head. It looks as if everyone may be wearing a yellow body suit. Just look at the eye shape of the yellow pops as opposed to Juan the floor waxing engineer. The box even says Ninja Supply Co.

>Stereotyped Asians - OK (Racist)
>CornRows on one of the pops - OK (Cultural Appropriation)
>One of the pops happily working and being productive - REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So it's racist because the brown pop is the only one there with a job, clearly has his shit together, isn't nude, and is providing a necessary function in society?

Well yeah, jobs are inherently racist according to the average SJW.

Well yeah, jobs are inherently racist according to the average SJW.

Not to mention working a full time job is also supporting toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, is oppressive to people that only know how to tweet, and creates an environment of internalized oppression with extremely toxic "responsibilities".

You'd think that an undocumented piece of cereal working hard to support his family would be more inspirational than a bunch of lazy ninjas that are probably in the process of robbing the mall blind.

And have probably scared away all the other mall patrons thanks to their nudity.

A classic.
