okay im browsing yahoo and i see this ad. i admit it is hilarious but what the f**k??? btw im chinese
 in the TV commrecials they also have a mexican dude and a white guy - "Big Spenda" Lopez and "The Fee" Jones... If there's anything to criticize, its the fact that it perpetuates the train of thought that Asians should dress/act/talk one way, black people should dress/act/talk one way, etc. We always hear stuff like "man, they're just trying to act black." But I mean, damn. There are millions of black people in Africa that don't act that certain way. Does that make them less black? discuss |

What makes it racist? I see no racist acts or anything to do with racism in those ads.

Well, that's just how society views it. Lets see, who are they advertising too, o ya society. We don't know that THEY think that way, its ads. Theres racist TV shows. I for one can't stand Chapel, what makes his show NOT racist. |
