I would say you are inferring it more than they are implying it.  In no way is the girl in the commercial appearing to be disgusted by the fact that he is black in the beginning.  If anything it has a very "get clean and come get me" vibe to it.  There is no connotation that denotes that he is going in because he is black.  He is going in because he is dirty, and they happened to use a black person instead of dirt to convey that.  Twisted and a bit weird?  Sure.  Racist?  I don't quite see it.

So black people = dirty

Asian people = clean

But not racist apparently...

Its a joke, but it plays on skin tone.

And yes when white people get dirty, they appear "darker"

But the commerical doesnt imply that the black guy isnt wanted because hes black.

Hes sweaty/dirty and covered in paint, after haveing painted.

When he comes up, hes no longer covered in sweat & paint.
