:-/ this is painting a really intolerant view of europe.
First companies come out and say they had to take black people out of ads in europe because of racism, now this.

I thought the US was supposed to be the ignorant racists?
Just an assault on those that had that *wrong* view.

This is only one country in Europe... you can't generalise this case for the rest of Europe. It would be like saying that North America has a massive drug crime problem just because Mexico has.

actually, the racist ad refrence was about the UK.

Was this about the advert in the Sun where they edited out the black person? I think the newspaper and the newspapers readership is more to blame if that is the case you are referring to. The Sun tends to be a more, ahem, white paper.

If it makes any difference, the same advert did not have the black person edited out in other newspapers and the Sun was criticised heavily for doing. Either way I don't think I or the majority of the UK would condone what they did.
