Racism doesn't have to be oppression. For example if I just say the word "nigger" on this forum, or in the street, I'm not oppressing anyone. It's insulting and hateful, though.
Both of them really are implying (very strongly if not explicitly) some kind of racial superiority. The creepy black guy gets cleaned up into desirable asian guy, and the scrawny unkempt weirdo Italian gets cleaned up into a smooth, muscular desirable black guy. If that weren't enough they literally say "colored is better", lol.
I didn't get this at all. I got he was dirty, and that the laundry detergent was so good it washed his black off. I never got the " black is bad". Seems you are making up shit to be offended by on behalf of a race. Also, if the black guy was willing to be in the ad, he clearly didn't have any qualms about it. So how can you say that it's racist against blacks if a black guy was a willing participant.
Probably. He's literally the worst, most power-abusive mod on this website. But I guess I should probably contribute something on topic to this thread, so here goes. I don't see how this ad, or the original Italian one are racist. I think people who see racism in it are reading way too much into it. Or maybe I'm just naive.
Are people really going to care what happens in another country and what they put on their telelvision for an advertisement?
Seriously a first world issue. I believe the SJWs have bigger fish to fry.
That being said I got a good chuckle out it but its not going to adversely affect me in any way.
Race threads arent allowed, and thats exactly what a racist ad is going to spawn. In addition, concerns about moderation is to be brought to a global, not openly discussed here
