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."

And just like that, the next keynote speaker at a California College lecture about how to effect change for social tolerance is born.
 
Rice Chex are the one true cereal; everything has the same shape, color, and taste.

Keep your multicolor (multicultural), malformed, and other degenerate cereals away from me.
 
How the fuck did this kike even get vertified. What fucking novel did he write, if any.

Some book in 2012 called "Throne of the Crescent Moon". Some high fantasy steeped in Islam. Other than that looks like he hasn't done much of anything other than stir shit on Twitter
