The 'racist' Aussie KFC ad

[levets]

LoL... Brits being Roast Beef lovers isn't racist as being British isn't a race, this country is made up of immigrants, be it germanic/afro-caribbean/Asian etc etc...

The advert shows black people responding to the fried chicken, now there may not be alot of white people from west indies but i can guarantee there will be white people with west indian nationality... so why weren't they included corresponding to the chicken? they will support west indies cricket team just asmuch as any other west indian...

This advert is ill-thought and racist, look i don't wanna argue allday whilst at work lads especially with fellow blues just i feel this way about this issue, i respect the fact you feel different and your entitled to your opinion, just as i am...

Making me hungry this topic.... might get myself some jerk chicken fillets on a naan bread

being British isn't a race
===================

Really?

is this a wind-up? surely their marketing team have just made a complete disaster here..

one of KFC's biggest demographics in The USA are african-americans, or should i say "southern fried chicken" as this recipe was originally slave food with ideas eventually stolen by corporations.

This advert claims that if loads of non-whites are going crazy around you just show them a bucket of fried chicken and they'll all calm down...

Disgraceful, how would you all feel if a video shown loads of white guys all going crazy at a football match then some black guy undresses his 5yr old daughter and every white guy all sits down and perves on the little kid?
After all every white man is a peadophile right?

No, wrong! just like not every nonwhite person enjoys KFC.

Do you wear those open toe'd sandals all year round and what hand cream do you use to combat the effects of your hand wringing?

Get a fucking life man, it's a humerous advert!

Which is where your whole argument falls apart.

If British isn't a race, then neither is being from the West Indies. The advert is about people from the West Indies, not black people in general, and guess what........people from the West Indies eat a hell of a lot of fried chicken, just like we eat a hell of a lot of roast beef.

Or do you believe that only white people are separated by the different cultural aspects of their nationality while all black people are to be classed as being exactly the same no matter where they come from? A bit racist, don't you think?

the lads a wum. he'll think of something.

 

[pissedagain]

its only racist if you are a fully paid up member of the pc brigade...oh and who remembers the lilt advert..red lobsters over there

 

[Project]

sorry i fail to see the racist undertones in the ad,

if anyone thinks this is racist we are on a dangerous path

what do the black guys on here think about it?

I'm one of the least PC people you will come across, but I find this advert offensive. Incredibly poor judgment.

You can actually buy white pudding though mate.... i was quite offended when my friend bought black pudding and said white pudding was disgusting :(

on a serious note, Political Correctness has gone mad, i fully agree... but this advert is not and it is racially offfensive, i dont know any nonwhite friend who finds the nursery rhyme offensive nor the blackboard... its usually ultra liberal doo-gooders who take it upon themselves to be self-proclaimed advocates for nonwhites... something many nonwhite friends hate more than actual racists.

privately educated middleclass white people who use the "race card" for their own career benefit in politics and so on.

I think you have it right on the money here Steez. They are oozing empathy at which the rest of us can only marvel. I haven't included the 'privately educated' because they bring little thought to the situation other than their own advancement.

so if it was a blackman giving a bunch of whites fish and chips you'd be annoyed steez? you prick. If there are people so pedantic and antagonistic to kick up a fuss in order to fill the empty shit laden void in their lifes, then let them.

This seems to have caused more controversy than when white farmers were hacked to death and beheaded in their homes only a couple of years ago. or is it wrong for me to bring that up? because as we all know, the only racists are whites.

Spot on, here in South Africa, when a black man murders a white man, it is reported as a violent crime but if a white man murders a black man....thats right, you guessed it, Racist!

Fucking joke!
