Or maybe they could have had her white as a baby, latino as a toddler, and she grows up to be Asian?

who create and OK these ads live in? It's certainly not the United States in 2014.
Ads like this (and there are way too many of them) are straight out of an exclusionary 1950s mindset when people of color were invisible and the "N" word "W" word were openly tossed about. Perhaps this is what the executives of these companies want America to return to but it ain't happening.
Let them keep it up and their companies will be out of business as in 20 years or so the audience they're speaking to with these white-only ads will also be a minority.
Majority minority America with no one race having over 50% of the population coming soon to not just a theater near you but to the whole country.
