It doesn't look bad at first until you see the out of the ordinary picture of cartoon corn pops hanging out at the retail mail...until author Saladin Ahmed called them out on Twitter stating the box is "teaching kids racism" because the lone and only brown Corn Pop of this bunch is shown as a janitor scrubbing the floor!! The other corn pop characters are shown shopping, playing in an arcade or bathing in a fountain and one is even skateboarding down an escalator. Saladin said "Yes it's a tiny thing but when you see your kid staring at this over breakfast and realize millions of other kids are doing the same.." Within hours, the Michigan based maker said they will update the artwork soon as they said "Kellog is committed to diversity & inclusion. We did not intend to offend, we apologize. The artwork is updated & will be in stores soon" Ahmed was appreciative as a spokesperson said they take feedback very seriously and they never intended to offend anyone Do you think it was Racist to make the lone brown corn pop as a janitor? let's see what people think The Shocking Picture - http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/10/26/00/45AE487B00000578-5018177-image-a-12_1508975545641.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/10/26/00/45AE489100000578-5018177-image-a-13_1508975548494.jpg Twitter - http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/10/26/00/45AE489900000578-5018177-image-a-15_1508975566590.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/10/26/00/45AE487500000578-5018177-image-a-14_1508975562115.jpg --- call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

I don't think the janitor character is supposed to even be a corn pop. It's supposed to look different. He/she/it has a nose and circle eyes, which the pops don't. It seems purposefully different.
I'm not sure why they added the character though. (Edit: and it looks like the only one wearing clothes too) --- Off with the horns, On with the show! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Are there any stats out there that would tell us what race most janitors are? No matter how much you want the races to be split down the middle, you won't get that. And to add to that, there are some high school janitors in bigger schools that make pretty decent money. A lot of people that demean janitors probably make less than them. --- ~A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men ~ TWSSted since~ 3/27/12 https://i.imgur.com/zlaENmx.png ...
