Is This KFC Ad Racist or Not?

Post Reply New Topic

I agree with most of the people here. This ad doesn't look racist to me. I have Indian friends who saw this ad, and they don't seem to mind. After all, I suppose this ad is only meant for Australians, not to Americans. It all depends on those who have seen this ad.

i see nothing at all that is racist in that ad.

a white man sitting in a black crowd seems like a racist portrayal only in the minds odf people who think the crowd should not contain a white man.

it is an australian ad and i would be very surprised if it was aired in the US.

i do not like KFC anyway, so the ad did not affect me in any way.

here is an ad for lamb that was removed from australian TV because of the amount of complaints about bigotry. the sound is slightly out of sync on my computer. i hope it is not not out of sync on anyone else's computer.

^ How obnoxious.
White Americans are sensitive to the issues because they are accused of being racist merely by the color of their skin. Many African Americans are equally racist in this country and altogether it still appears to be a big issue here. I wish it would go away and people could finally live in peace with each other but it may take another hundred years or so at the rate it's going.

Another example of compaints over nothing. So what if he's the only white guy in the group of fans! I bet the same people who complained, think white TV shows are racist, but not all black TV shows, just because they don't look "diverse" to them.

Stinkypuppy, yes, I knew that. I just happened to tell you that they told me so.

Nah, that was just the same topic I and my friends have discussed before I encountered this thread. And yes, your assumption is correct. I am Filipino, kapatid.

Now going back to the topic at hand, I was really wondering why some people would react to something that isn't meant for them.

I think people just love to judge each other and if it weren't one thing it would be something else.

So hold on, it's an advertisment for fried chicken, and this "mick" character gives out fried chicken? That seems typical of an advert so far. But there are dozens of those bloody adverts where "Mick" seems to solve several of life's dilema's by giving out KFC. But the moment one of the ad's has some black guys in it's considered racsist (apparently). I swear, if things carry on the way they are, just being white will be considered Politially incorrect.

Definitely not racist more like friendly banter to me.

^ being White might already be Politically Incorrect.

The friend chicken stereotype is only about african americans, not people from the west indies or where ever those fans were from. Australians wouldn't even get that KFC stereotype.
