Until last month, there was just one lone female M & M. The green one.
Then just before the Superbowl Time Magazine reported on the debut of another, bringing the female-male ratio to 1: 3:
“M&Ms already has characters based on the other colors in its candy rainbow (red, yellow, blue, orange and green), but until now the candy has gone largely male-centric. Green has been the lone female. Brown will join her, with high heels in full view.”
I suppose we grateful she’s not Mrs. Brown and that she’s wearing glasses. I hope with those pumps that it’s before Labor day.
and of course they are all white. let’s not forget about how invisibility is multiplied at the intersection of race and gender…
hi shari,
huh? aren’t they multi-colored? someone actually pointed out the brown one is nude

Oh I just mean the arms and legs on all of them are obviously white-skinned. If they are making up human features on a made-up cartoon character, why do they have to be white?
Hi shari,
got it, you’re right
