Cheerios Ad Featuring Interracial Family Sparks Racial Backlash

‘Just Checking’, an adorable Cheerios commercial starring an interracial couple and their daughter, had to disable comments on YouTube after the ad became a target for racist comments. Many have turned to Cheerios’ Facebook page to express their opinion, both positive and negative. Vice president of marketing for Cheerios, Camille Gibson, said, ‘At Cheerios, we know there are many kinds of families and we celebrate them all.’
