Cheerios Commercial Causes Stir, The leader of the free world is the child of one black parent and one white parent. The number of Americans who identify as “mixed race” is on the rise. And this year marks the 46th anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court decision, which made interracial marriage legal in the United States.
So why is a Cheerios ad featuring a multiracial family causing a stir?
The commercial features a curly-haired girl inquiring of her Caucasian mother and African-American father about Cheerios’ healthy attributes.
“Mom, Dad told me that Cheerios was good for your heart. Is that true?” she asks in the commercial, titled “Just Checking.”
