 Steven you were Chinese all this time, I thought you were black. Well, my bad.  Well, the ads do, some-what look racist to me. But if they're trying to make it look funny, well I don't see anything funny about it.

It's not racist; people like this actually exist. Maybe not all the way off the edge like that, but I mean, there are posers everywhere. There are even a few people on Createblog..
 What makes them posers? Because they act like hip-hop artists to an extreme to where it's unrealistic and it's just stupid. The person who directed that commercial was just having a bit of fun and it's hilarious. Maybe you're taking offense because you're trying to find something racist about it.

you know damn well if you saw a real life version of that cartoon, the majority of people would think "poser". advertisements just go with what they think society thinks.

it sorta rang a bell like that to, but then I cracked up. If that's how the commercial works, then the intentions weren't to seperate at all but to unite people under the T-Mobile standard... Which is far inferior to Cingular

I don't think they are racist at all. The commercials are meant to be humerous to relate to today's consumers.
