  • mom?

  • yes honey?

  • aww I love this commercial

  • Dad told me that Cheerios is good for your heart. Is that true?

  • Says here that Cheerios has whole grain oats that can help remove some cholesterol and

  • that's heart healthy.

  • Oh my god that girl's so cute!

  • footsteps

  • ohhhh!!

  • laughs

  • Who would cereal their dad's heart?

  • Yummy and delicious for children to put on their fathers!

  • That's it? It's just a Cheerios commercial.

  • So what happened in that commercial?

  • It was... a Cheerios commercial.

  • This little girl apparently thinks that her dad is super unhealthy

  • So the girl asked if it was actually healthy for your heart

  • But I think she was thinking of literally, went over to her dad went to see if he was

  • sleeping, put it on his heart!

  • I thought it was pretty funny

  • And what did you think of the family?

  • They seemed fun.

  • Funny.

  • Nice

  • I thought they were actually a pretty good family.

  • They seem like a normal family.

  • A lot of people have gotten very angry about this commercial.

  • Why?

  • Why?

  • Why?

  • Why is that exactly?

  • How do they get angry over.. but.. what?

  • Do you have any idea why?

  • No

  • No

  • Honestly no

  • Well people are specifically are angry because of the parents.

  • Do you have any idea why that might be?

  • Uhh... I dont know

  • Is there anything different about the parents to you?

  • No

  • Wait, let me think.

  • laughs

  • well what it is, is, they're angry that they're mixed race parents.

  • they're angry because they're mixed race parents.

  • Do you know what that means?

  • Yep.

  • One's white and one's black?

  • That's exactly why people have gotten upset.

  • why?

  • I dont think that that is fair

  • when was this video made, the 1950s?

  • Nobody.. oh my god.. thats so stupud!

  • But some people just fall in love like that.

  • Very important people, like, made laws and stuff, and George Washington, and like,

  • all kinds of different people who made that... and.. free.. you know what I'm saying?

  • Now it's different now, so people can do that. I dont know why people get mad at that.

  • Is it okay for people to be mad about a mixed family?

  • No because there's nothing wrong with that.

  • No it's not okay!

  • It's just the color of their skin, what matters is if they're nice or mean.

  • That's just messed up!

  • There's a bunch of mixed race families.

  • If people really love each other then they should get married.

  • What is this country for.. its something.. starts with an "e".. oh equality!

  • Okay, so why do you do that? I mean like

  • Just cause you see a gay couple or something, it doesn't mean you have to say

  • "Eeew you're so disgusting, you're kissing your own gender"

  • It's their path.. so.. it really doesn't matter

  • Why do you think people would be upset about that?

  • I don't know

  • I.. I don't.. I dont get it.

  • I don't... I don't get it.

  • My brain doesn't wrap around the idea of... ugh.. it's.. duhh..

  • Because they think that their own race is better, even though it's the same

  • They're racists, like, it's just how the way they are. They were probably raised that way.

  • Ugh because people are just racist.

  • I thought Mar- Martin Luther King.. you know.. spoke against this and fixed this already.

  • Unfortunately it's still not over.. from like the past

  • people shouldn't judge each other from the color of their skin

  • or their religion

  • or anything that's different

  • you should only judge a person based on their character and their personality

  • Would you ever think not to marry someone just because the color of their skin?

  • I think that that's offensive

  • It really does depend on their heart and if they really love me!

  • As long as it's a person, it's a person.

  • It's not like, a, marrying like, a dog

  • Underneath it, literally! you're the same people

  • You have organs laughs and a heart

  • Where I live, like, it's no big deal. People with different, like, races and religions

  • they all just hang out with each other!

  • But like in other parts of the country it's more like, stuck in the old days and prejudice

  • and it's messed up

  • Have you ever experienced discrimination or racism in your life?

  • Mm-mm

  • umm... no....

  • not yet! I'm hoping that I never will

  • and i hope nobody will ever--

  • it's just terrible if you do that

  • it's kind of annoying when people say "ehhh you're Asian that's not fair, of course you

  • could ace that test"

  • I have some friends that be racist just to be funny

  • so just cause they do that, I do it back

  • i dont find it funny, they think its funny, cause im the minority

  • they say it, i say it back, then we go on to another conversation

  • I know that there's still like some racism in other parts of the world

  • I didn't think that it would still, you know, be here

  • The comments on youtube for this commercial got so bad they were turned off completely

  • and you couldn't even read any comments

  • what do you think about that?

  • thats just sad

  • thats good then, they're protecting the people in the video

  • its like the mob mentality kind of thing

  • they see the comments, they do it, its like monkey see monkey do

  • nobody likes an evil mean stinking bully

  • Nobody likes that because they realize that they don't want us hanging out with them

  • because they're so mean and rude and nasty

  • you dont need to leave bad comments

  • when you have this.. big pile of some mean things, I mean it hurts your feelings

  • think about those people who are like, of mixed races and stuff

  • they probably feel horrible cause of this. and its just messed up

  • why would you waste your time doing that, you can just like, watch another awesome youtube

  • video

  • like thats what I do. I waste my time on youtube!

  • So you're wasting your time going on the internet, going on the comments, and typing some racial

  • slur

  • for a Cheerios commercial.

  • That's dumb to me

  • TRUTH

  • What do you think youtube can do because comments on youtube, theres a lot of bad ones

  • what do you think youtube could do to try and help that?

  • They could say at the end, like always,

  • if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all

  • censor it?

  • there's this game that I play- clash of clans laughs and like if you type something like

  • a bad word

  • like the f word, then it censors it

  • they only way you can comment on youtube is if you have an email

  • you can probably track that email

  • they could just like, warn them once

  • and if they do it again, then ban them from commenting at all

  • public sites in general, you cant control it because of how many people there are there

  • the best thing they can do, if they can do anything at all

  • they can just shut the whole thing down

  • but that would just be sad!

  • this is what i love doing! and I hate to see that happen

  • but thats really the only thing they can do!

  • What do you think about Cheerios? For actually making a commercial like this?

  • They're brave laughs

  • I'm glad they did that

  • sometimes in TV, its unrealistic

  • in real life theres families of all races

  • they should be doing that, no matter how much, you know, hate they get

  • dont delete it laughs

  • they probably knew this was going to happen

  • but at least they did it

  • it definitely will get people mad but eventually

  • those people will just ha.. will just realize that like it doesnt really matter

  • if someone is watching this who thinks biracial parents is wrong, what would you want to say

  • to them?

  • you people are mean!

  • please dont feel that way

  • it's really unfair to a lot of people

  • just think of their heart!

  • they could actually be very good people for all you know

  • for any racists.. i thnk you should just like drop it

  • you might have been like taught that way

  • that's your parents fault. you dont have to do everything like

  • exactly the way they have to

  • And what about anyone watching that has to deal with racism in their life

  • or have biracial parents and people give them a hard time about that.

  • what would you stay to them?

  • just.. stay strong bro-ski

  • sticks and stones can break my bones laughs but words will never hurt me ! laughs

  • You'll get through it!

  • Something will happen. There are lots of people who support it, so,

  • just ignore them.

  • Just know that there are people that are trying to stop, you know, all the hate

  • I hope you get through all of this, because, those mean people out there

  • they dont deserve anything

  • guys! do not care what they say!

  • you are you!

  • Stand proud for yourself!

  • Be happy for your family!

  • Tell them "I dont care what you say! I am the way I am! And I dont care if I'm Korean

  • and Asian,

  • "or Black and White, I dont care no matter what!"

  • I'm really sorry that you guys have to deal with this, cause, (voice cracks) its really

  • hard for you guys

  • it really bothers you?

  • (voice cracking) yeah
