Cheerios Ad Featuring Biracial Girl
The representation of a cute biracial girl with interracial parents sparked nationwide controversy. The commercial reached its height in popularity as the media reported YouTube had to shut-down its comment section due to a wave of racist comments plaguing the page. The commercial annoys us because its rise to fame stemmed from hate. But because Cheerios pushed the envelope in portraying underrepresented American families, this commercial will remain memorable for years to come.
