Dude. She washed him. The implication was that he was dirty because of the black skin. I am not saying it wasn't an attempt at humor but you cannot deny that skin color had a central role in that commercial.

Your type of mentality is completely reactionary.

I would say my mentality is the opposite of reactionary.  I don't just see something and react to it, I actually give it thought.  And, in some instances, even the benefit of the doubt.  She did wash him.  However, it was also clear that he was sweaty and covered in paint and just had a long day.  Don't let those facts get in the way of being reactionary and seeing it solely as a race thing though.

I am not denying that this was an attempt at humor and that he had paint on him or anything. But you can't ignore the fact that she washed his skin color into a paler shade. Washing is inherently about clearning and cleaning is inherently about taking away the bad stuff. If he had paint all over him why didn't only the paint disappear?

I am not reactionary i am simply just trying to discuss this video. I don't think the video is as racist as many people would have you believe but to say it isn't racist because we can't know the intention is just stupid.
