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 |

it's not exactly racist per se...it's more stereotypical, no? it portrays the stereotypical "ghetto fob" and "gangsta" characteristics.
anywho, i think it is funny, but it's not the best way to appeal to the public. it's sort of offensive to people. |
