I hope Ellen loses her show somehow over this... Not a fan.

Why should she lose her show over a Gap ad that wasnt racist? And, made dumber since the two girls in the middle of the faux controversy are actually sisters.
Because you dont like her? Change the channel.

I think we should boycott Ellen.

Again...based on what as it pertains to this thread?

Take some heat for what exactly? Do you think the ad is racist? And if so, why?

And Ill disregard the Portia comment as a failed attempt at comedy.

Personally I think the ad is fine... I just want Ellen to suffer.

What fallout? Do you think Ellen might get cancelled now? Do advertisers read Mingle2? Did they see your post and think "Well the Maxster wants her gone so she's gone, damn that show renewal we just made through 2020!"?

This what I hate about boycotts. The people calling for them think EVERYONE should feel the same way they do. If I don't like something I may express my feelings but I don't think everyone else should feel the way I do.

I guess you don't like Unions, either... I think the Teamsters may want to have a little chat with you.

I'm a retired Teamster....and I've had this talk with many of them. The business agent from my local didn't like when I told him not to tell me who to vote for....what makes you think I wouldn't stand up to them on boycotts?
And right now I don't like the union much....they are cutting my pension by 60% because they mismanaged the fund.

Business Insider:

It now turns out that the two girls are sisters.

They are part of a youth performance group, Le Petit Cirque, whose founder, Nathalie Yves Gaulthier, told ABC News in a statement that she stands by Gap.

Gaulthier said:

The child in the ad is not an "armrest," she's the other girl's little sister. They are a very close family. The child is a very young [junior] member with Le Petit Cirque, a humanitarian cirque company, and therefore a wee shyer than the more seasoned older outgoing girls. Our company is deeply saddened by some people misconstruing this as racist, and are keeping the children out of this at the moment to protect their beautiful feelings, but we are extremely supportive of dialogue in our country to move past any racial barriers. We stand by Gap Kids and Ellen DeGeneres.

The Epoch Times and BET reported that the girls' mother is actor Brooke Smith, who starred in "Grey's Anatomy."

I think this is so sad, that ONE (racial) injustice warrior's tweet, caused this family all this aggravation & embarrassment.
I hope all those who jumped on the band wagon are ashamed. But I doubt it. They are probably on another quest right now, to further the agenda.

Embarrassment for the Twiiter retards screaming "racism"....

"" The internet had much to say about a
recently released ad for Ellen DeGeneres'
Gap Kids collaboration line, GapKids x ED.
On Monday, the company tweeted images
from its ad campaign, captioned "meet the
kids who are proving that girls can do
anything ." One of the pictures featured a
white girl with her arm propped up on a
smaller black girl's head.

@GapKids so basically little black girls can
be arm rest!!! smh this is disgusting

The tweet grabbed immediate attention.
White girls, it seemed to say , could
apparently do anything — they could even
use black girls as armrests. But as BET
reported, actress Brooke Smith, the girl's
mother, just chimed in with some crucial
information the internet missed.
"They are sisters!" she said"
