Kellogg's has apologised after a Twitter user complained that the cartoon art found on one of its cereal boxes was 'racist'.
Saladin Ahmed, a Marvel comic writer, accused the cereal company of teaching racism, pointing out an illustration on a Corn Pop cereal box.

The illustration on the cereal box shows several yellow cartoon cereal pieces, all performing different activities, from juggling to bathing in a fountain.
One character, who appears to be dressed as a janitor waxing the floors, appears to be a darker shade than the others.
Kellogg's were quick to respond to Ahmed's tweet, apologising and saying that the artwork would be "updated and in stores soon."

Perspective: janitor pop is only responsible one with a job who is also btw clothed and smiling. All the others look high and irresponsible
