They're just so smug about, ya know. Moral decay man. Moral. Decay
Though in hindsight I do notice a lot of guys walking around with chicks of another race do have incredibly tight jeans on or a porkpie hat.
That little girl is far too adorable for her own good. Clearly, she's the real danger here.
The backlash was that bad?

IN YO FACES, RACISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*snicker*
I'm glad that they are going on with another video!
Wasn't the original one of the main reasons why youtube revamped their user comments and how they are rated? Or rather, it got so much attention that it broke the camel's back?
Jesus.Super Bowl Ad: MSNBC Apologizing Now Officially A Trend – This Time For Tweet About Cheerios Commercial (Video)
By LISA DE MORAES, TV Columnist
Does someone at MSNBC get a bonus for every media report that includes the name “MSNBC” and the word “apology”? This time, the cable news network apologized for a tweet it posted last night suggesting/fearing/hoping conservatives would not like the new Cheerios Super Bowl ad, and directing readers to its report on the ad. The spot features the same interracial family used in an earlier Cheerios commercial that set off quite a discussion — YouTube’s comments section on the ad was turned off when the talk got particularly heinous. “Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family,” MSNBC tweeted, directing readers to its report and ad video.
Outrage ensued, with headlines including “MSNBC Slimes ‘Right Wing’ as Racist Over Cheerios Ad,” and “MSNBC Trolls The Right With Cheerios Tweet,” among others. Cue up MSNBC apologies via Twitter:

Earlier, this account tweeted an offensive line about the new Cheerios ad. We deeply regret it. It does not reflect the position of msnbc.More media headlines: “MSNBC Apologizes For Tweet Taunting Conservatives Over Super Bowl Ad Starring Biracial Child,” and “MSNBC Apologizes After Racially Charged Gaff About Cheerios,” to name just two.msnbc
@msnbc
We are deleting the earlier offensive tweet. It does not reflect msnbc's position and we apologize.
MSNBC has done a mess of apologizing lately: Our list includes former show host Martin Bashir’s apology for on-air comments about Sarah Palin, show host Melissa Harris-Perry’s tearful apology for program panel in which fun was poked at Mitt Romney’s family photo featuring a black grandson on his knee, and former show host Alec Baldwin’s mea culpa over on-the-street anti-gay rhetoric.
Here, in its entirety, is MSNBC’s report on the ad, to which the tweet had directed readers, followed by the new Cheerios Super Bowl ad that caused the kerfuffle, and that original Cheerios ad:
The Cheerios family is back.
The breakfast cereal’s new Super Bowl ad features the same fictional biracial family that sparked a backlash last year.
Titled “Gracie”–after six-year-old actress Grace Colbert, who stars as the daughter of an interracial couple–the ad presents another scene of family life.
Forget the Seahawks and the Broncos: there may be another outcry, but most viewers are likely to declare this ad the Super Bowl winner.
In the Super Bowl ad, Dad tells the adorable daughter she’s going to have a baby brother, using Cheerios to demonstrate – she negotiates for a puppy too. Oh, spoiler alert. My bad.
