Racist Ad or not? you decide.

Where is the ad? All I see is a useless picture...

Also what is this supposed to mean?

These mistakes occur all the time, and in some cases, they can be far more devastating than the Australian KFC incident. For example, when Costco created black dolls called "Lil Monkey," the nation was in an uproar and the company lost dearly. Even if the company wasn't trying to be offensive, the end result dictated that they were offending millions of people. That is the kind of corporate decision-making that you want to avoid, and having true diversity of background and thought can help avoid such disasters.
 
I looked for the ad on youtube:

I don't think it was racist, ok he was sorrounded by a bunch of black people but they didn't exactly all stop go quiet and take the chicken, i saw a few hands reaching for some, it didn't feel that the emphasiss was on the fact they were black....

Not really racist but I could see how you would find it a bit racist.
 
Not racist at all. Black people like chicken. No one should be offended by this.

Racist-
google said:
a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others
Implying that black people like chicken is stereotypical, but still not offensive.
 
I saw it on TV, it wasn't racist when I was viewing it.
 
I see no hatred in that, just a stereotype that has some ounce of truth in it.

My god around here if white people treated blacks the way blacks do whites there would be hearings and trials, people demanding the white kids being sent to reeducation camps because of white supremacy, lol...
 
What if it was a bunch of white people? Would there be such an uproar?

No way.

Yes, this video is racist man. Pretty much taking into consideration the stereotype that all black people love fried chicken. But honestly, wtf is 1 white man doing in a crowd of 200 black people?

And I think we can all say we like fried chicken unless you have your own dislikes for it. I don't think it can be limited to black people only loving fried chicken. Gotta take into consideration that people just enjoy different things, but don't get discriminated for it.
 
Well I don't believe any of you are from Australia.
They are sitting at the cricket, and KFC is a sponsor of Australian cricket. The black people in the stands around him are the oppositions supporters.
I do not find this ad to be racist in one bit.
 
The ad obviously does not sit well with African Americans, who consider it to be stereotypical to offer black people chicken as if the meat can control us like a pack of wild animals.

Basically every black person I've talked to, LOVES chicken...


Edit ; WHAT?! I just watched the video.... seriously?! Is that what they find racist, that's ridiculous!
