Secondly, the throwbacks are out being their bigoted selves complaining about ONE ad, out of THOUSANDS, that shows an interracial couple. Nevermind that about 8% of all US marriages are interracial.
I'm reading the comments and taking names. Everybody saying something racist is going on the big list of "who gets eaten first if we happen to all be trapped on a desert island". They may as well contribute positively in some way. (They're also on the "not if we were the last two people on earth" list. The species can just go extinct.)

That child is going to have an Oscar before she's old enough to date. Do we know her name?
