🐱 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."

Dude you have to be autistic as fuck to even notice that minor shit.

Or just looking for a reason to get SJW points.

The only people who get offended by this are the ones who look down on these jobs.

You can judge a man's character by the way he treats his lessers after all

WELLLLP looks like Black Bolt is ruined.

Ahmed was born in 1975 in Detroit, Michigan to parents of Lebanese, Egyptian, Irish, and Polish descent.[5] His father, Ismael Ahmed, formerly in the merchant marine, worked both in a factory and as a community organizer. His mother was a political activist.

After graduating from high school, Ahmed attended Henry Ford Community College before transferring to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.[5] After receiving a B.A. in American Studies, Ahmed earned an MFA at Brooklyn College and an MA in English from Rutgers University.

Well you're half right he's half white but "His mother was a political activist" says everything I need to know about how he got so pedantic.

This is an adult who sits at home, eating sugary as fuck corn pops, staring at the box long enough to pick out a corn-nog.

This guy looks threadworthy himself.

A janitor is a much more productive member of society than trust-fund kids and welfare queens, which most SJWs are and Mr. Saladin will soon be.

This guy needs a thread. Make him a thread.

Did he even stop to think maybe the janitor was whole wheat and not gluten-based?

A janitor is a respectful job, and only someone who does a never-get-your-hands-dirty 'job' would think otherwise. Marvel writer. What a joke

It's entirely possible to spoonerize this thread title as "Racist Porn Cops."

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.
