Looks like the white chick is dead to me hahaha

That's because she's clearly a skinhead. Preemptive strike and all by the black chick.

All I want to know is "Why aren't they making-out, yet?"

i'm not saying that racism doesn't exist in other countries, but the whole black/white issue isn't really prevalent over there as it is here. what would i know, i'm yellow

Dude...I'm seriously beginning to wonder about the quality of your education...this, and the segregation thing some thread ago. Just 'cause you hear it in school does not make it true

anyway....I look at this add and see them trying to show differences....maybe not the brightest way to show them, but that's what I see. The white chick is ugly....heck neither of them are that great...But then again, I'm no prize so who am I to judge.

but it's true...i don't think this would fly here in the states

That's true. The fact that the complaints for this ad came out of California, and not in the Netherlands where the ads were actually released, shows exactly how serious they took it over there.

The Netherlands have a big history of black/white issues so it's still inappropriate.

I know that but I live in Cali where all this crap happens and here it IS true. This kind of crap happens all the time here. It's beyond annoying.

Where I live I am "White Devil" because I'm the minority so they can say what ever they want to me and nothing happens but the second I respond back I'm dead.

Gang violence, there was a riot at a gas station down the street from my house. A whole gang of black people*We're talking around 100 people* Went trashing the place just because the clerk there was white and the price of gas was a few cents more then at the other stations.

Is it the clerks fault? NO he just works there. But they don't care.

You have to wonder if thats the entire (accurate) story... theres always 2 sides to a story...

Funny how nobody cares when a black chick is beating on a white chick. Other way around? RACIUM!!

In all honesty, I don't think the issue within the ad (with the white woman overpowering the black woman) lies within symbolism of racism. I don't think the problem stems from two colors, but rather the history between the two colors. So I'm not calling racism on this, but racially insensitive is the best way I can describe the ad.

I don't know I wasn't there. That's what I heard on the news. I just happened to drive by it when it was happening.
