Old Navy Receives Bizarre Backlash After Featuring Interracial Couple In Ad

People use the internet to complain about everything, this is just the racists feeling left out. People have always been garbage, but now the internet shines a light on their toxic behavior. It only gets worse when left unchecked. Believe you me there will come a day when something as simple as a different hair colour will result in accusations of SJW propaganda. 

Last week, Old Navy tweeted a photo of an interracial family wearing the company’s clothing in the hopes of directing customers to an appreciation sale.

What happened instead was some unanticipated negative attention on social media, with many people even threatening to boycott the retailer for using an interracial family in their ads.

“My family and I will never step into an Old Navy store again,” one person tweeted in response to the ad.

Another said: “Interracial relationships are a fraction of U.S. marriages. Who is the target demo?”

General Mills received similar attention in 2013 for their Cheerios commercial that featured an interracial family. In the commercial, the biracial daughter asks her Caucasian mother about the cereal’s heart-healthy benefits. Then she runs over to her African-American father and dumps the box of Cheerios onto his chest.

The commercial received such backlash that General Mills had to disable the comments section under the YouTube video. Cont.
