It was on the market from the ’50s until 1969, and baby boomers remember it fondly. It was pretty much like Rice Krispies, but covered with sugar. Mmm. It later evolved into the flavored cereals we know and love today as Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles. What Rice Krinkles left behind for us is a collection of what we now consider racist, disturbing, and disturbingly racist marketing materials.

This country will be loven the al-Qaida soon also.
Only if you allow it to be racist will it be.
What the heck is racist about that?
I fail to see the "racism". Can someone please clue me in, or inform me on the "new" definition of the term?
It's a RICE cereal. Where in the world is rice grown mostly? Any guesses here? Alaska?, noooo... um Canada?, noooo.... Oh, oh, I got it! Oriental countries like China and Japan and Korea! YES, Grasshopper!
So they use an oriental to sell rice cereal. DUH, should they have used an Eskimo instead? They have no eyes either, LOL!
Get over yourselves.
Nobody said anything about COCO CHRISPS. For heavens sakes don't mention any cereal with blackberries. This crap has gotten out of hand. I presume by today's standards the only politically accepted cereal, especially in Maryland, is Fruit Loops.
