The rest are yellow. That's racist to say Asians are yellow.

Do people even know what the word racist means anymore? They throw it around so much that no one pays real attention to it anymore.

This is fricking ridiculous. Apparently everything has a possibility of being racist now.

I think the people that see racism in such trivial things are actually the racists themselves.

This reminds me of James O'Keefe first escapade- he got Rutgers University to stop serving Lucky Charms cereal in their cafeterias by convincing them it portrayed a negative stereotype of the Irish. He of course didn't believe this; he was doing it to prove the point that anyone can find anything to be offensive by and the universities will cave, no matter how ridiculous. If only it were contained to cereals...

Instead of replacing it can't they just throw in a few dark brown doctor or other professional Corn Pops?

First of all the janitor is not a 'pop' because none of the 'pops' are wearing clothes.

Second, the janitor is clearly not a pop because the eyes are drawn as two distinct circles.

Third, notice that the clearly non-pop faceless tourists are also a different hue.

This is simply the art department assigning different tasks to different people.

I think the pic is perfect. It’s a good token - now they can’t complain that they were left out.

The irony in this is strong.
The Kellogg Foundation gives millions to "progressive" groups and cities to further the progressive agenda. They gave money to New Orleans to help with whole statue debacle.

Calling Kellogg racist is a riot.

Your "logic" is pretty tortuous.

That's not a janitor. That is an Environmental Services Tech fresh off it's (gender not assumed here) MS in Gender Studies from Berkeley.

Nobody’s gonna say anything about the 2 racist Pops in the middle that have cameras around their necks and Hawaiian shirts on? That’s obviously a jab a Asian tourists.

If anything else, this should be racist because there are no white Pops.

I forgot, you can’t be racist against white people.

I'm not angry about this, but it is kinda F'd up that the one brown character is doing menial, manual labor. It's funny that they said they were trying to be inclusive; a token brown corn is pandering, not inclusive.

It's blatant as can be. It's delusional to deny it.
