Well, why is there 1 dark colored corn pop anyway?
Seriously, this is the first I'm seeing the picture,
after hearing about the controversy

Why is there 1 corn pop that is dark brown,
pushing a floor scrubber, among all the rest?

Who fucking ok'd this, to begin with?

The funny thing is how the left insult everyone that is a janitor in this country. They say that is an insult for some reason. Why? Cause we have all been conditioned to think that is a bad job and equivalent to bums.

Janitorial work, is actually very good work. It pays quite well. There are all sorts of benefits doing it. It is more than mopping.

Unfortunately, our society shuns this type of work, and the elitist liberals act accordingly. What is wrong with showing a darker person working exactly? Oh, I get it. That work is beneath them.

Of course, I am wondering if ALL of those ADT commercials etc that ONLY SHOW WHITE PEOPLE robbing homes, should apologize.







Show me one commercial where there is an actual person that does the most crimes in this country.

Fucking liberals. Corn pops. Fucking losers.

The white Corn Pop's were all having fun, the brown was polishing floors.

Morning Mix
Kellogg’s apologizes for lone brown corn pop on cereal box



By Samantha Schmidt October 26



Novelist Saladin Ahmed was looking at the back of a Corn Pops cereal box when he noticed a small but jarring detail.

The colorful illustration on the box depicted a chaotic scene of little yellow corn pop characters frolicking through a shopping mall.

But in the middle of the drawing, Ahmed spotted a lone non-yellow corn pop. The character looked as if it had brown skin. It also happened to be the only corn pop in all blue, and appeared to be waxing or scrubbing the mall’s floors.

On Wednesday morning, Ahmed tweeted to Kellogg’s: Why is “literally the only brown corn pop on the whole cereal box the janitor?”

It’s “a tiny thing,” he added, “but when you see your kid staring at this over breakfast and realize millions of other kids are doing the same…”

Within five hours, Kellogg’s responded. The artwork has been updated and will be in stores soon, the company tweeted.

“Kellogg is committed to diversity & inclusion,” the tweet read. “We did not intend to offend — we apologize.”

So the lone darky was the only one with a job, and he got offended at a the idea of a black man having a job.


awesome

I am beginning to wonder if it just wasn't an error in printing. If you notice, the background for the "darker" corn pop is dark red. Is it possible that he was supposed to be yellow, but the dark red bled into that corn pop making it brown instead?

The new version is supposed to depict additional lighter brown corn pops cutting the grass outside while three turban-wearing pops are shooting up the mall.
In the name of diversity and inclusion.

First of all, combining variations of red and yellow
creates variations of the color orange...not brown

Secondly, if what you are suggesting, were the case,
it would be evident elsewhere, not limited to the face and hands...

his eyes and T-shirt(white) would be shades of red,
his cap, shirt and pants(blue shades) would be shades of purple...
not to mention, nothing would be clean, defined, within the lines

There is nothing to suggest nor support, such a theory...
his cap, shirt and pants are all different shades of blue,
his shoes are a darker shade of brown, then his face,
even the floor scrubber is different hues of orange

Someone intentionally chose a brown hue
for that one 'cornpop' and just the fact
someone had to sign off on the artwork
and approve it before it went onto the cereal boxes...

knowing all the crazy, race related controversies,
that could erupt from just a banana peel in a tree,
someone would have to be totally fucking brain dead
NOT to know, that was going to be an issue...
one way or another!

I wonder if it paid off

Another reason welfare should end. People have too much time on their hands. Get a job, your miserable life just might become happier.

This could spark a POPulist movement!

They may have simply wanted the publicity, since they can always apologize and agree they made a mistake.
If that's not the case, it is amazing that in this day and age with hyper-sensitivity being the rage, that someone didn't catch this.

Exactly!

That's pretty much how I summed it up,
in my post, following the one you quoted

See. Corn pops are clearly Oriental.

Oriental? People of the Oriental persuasion? Whatever happened to gooks and slopeheads?
