Just concerning the poll. How do people think its not racist with white people?

I said it's not racist because I don't think either are racist.
@ OP
People have just become WAY too sensitive with race, letting their own closeted bias cloud their judgement. They see only see things through a prism of race, so therefore to override that they must point out racism, even where it doesn't exist. That goes for all races. For this to be racist, the people involved must look down on and dislike blacks. I don't get that from this ad at all. In fact, it seems like all the actors are fine with it, including the black guy who agreed to be in the ad, the one people are getting mad for. Same goes for the Italian one, where it's a white guy going to a black guy.
No one can choose the color they are born with, so we all just must accept that. Which includes stop getting so wound up about innocent jokes based on skin color. Dirt and mud are brown and black. Clean clothes are usually shown as white (though I guess people would call Chinese people yellow?) in commercials, since that's what shows off dirt the most. That just happens to also be some people's skin colors. Whoop dee doo.
