My bad for not seeing the small text about cream of wheat. I found this while cleaning out my home and thought of you guys.

I'm not offended or anything, I just think it's funny that this sort of thing is so normal here but so frowned upon up North.

In my anecdotal experience, most people here are light brown, and get somewhat offended if you call them black. Being really dark is associated with being Haitian, and people are kinda racist towards Haitians.
