A nice Cheerios advertisement whose only discernible difference from other Cheerios commercials is that it depicts an interracial family was forced to disable its YouTube comments section today after it became inundated with virulent racism.

Despite the hate, Camille Gibson, vice president of marketing for Cheerios, told us in a statement, "Consumers have responded positively to our new Cheerios ad. At Cheerios, we know there are many kinds of families and we celebrate them all."

Segregationists still looking to tell the world how angry they are about a cereal commercial can do so at Reddit—"Shoving multi-culturism down our throats when we know it fails.. awesome"—or here, in Kinja.
