To be racist you have to actually be a racist and mean what you say. A lot of people forget that when flinging around the -ism words. Racism is the thought that certain races are by nature inferior to yours. If you don't think that then you're not a racist and as such you cannot be racist.

If you prefer around to be white people you're not automatically a racist. Preferring one thing does not mean hating the other. That's why this commercial is not racist unless that was the intent of the producers.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Thank God I never participate in conversation like this ...

A white man walks into a bar
A black man walks into the same bar
The white man walks away towards more white men
The black man looks upset
The white man says 'Sorry, I'm not racist, I just prefer the company of white men.'


Jesus.

Good ol' Asian racism. It's kinda funny that people would just completely go crazy about an advert like that over here but over there... they just don't give a fuck.

Now, the real question.... does it work in reverse too? :o

Maybe an advert for toilet cleaner?



This is not racist, this is just a ripoff.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

As long as white people aren't responsible for the video it can't be racist.

A washing detergent that turns a black man into an Asian man? That must be some strong detergent. China don't kid around.



The idea is actually sort of funny. The implementation... Yeah, it's probably too easy to interpret as racist. But strictly speaking, I don't think it was actually meant to be racist. Had it been pulled off with simple makeup, it would probably have seemed like a pretty dumb idea.

WTFFF

 

Where do these people come with these ideas XD

 

This and the vid in the OP lol

From what I can understand of the ad, this announces some detergent for coloured clother, with the tagline "Coloured is better", so they put a person of colour. I'm not sure what the pun is on the chinese version.
