Chinese detergent commercial deemed racist.
 
This Chinese detergent commercial is getting quite a bit of exposure on the Internet for its racist overtones.

The funny thing about this commercial is when the black guys turns into a Chinese guy because of this "detergent", one body part should shrink too.

That BBC disappears. :lawl: BBC becomes small Chinese dick. :lawl:

The Chinese girl is pretty though.

Inb4 gululu see's nothing wrong with it

I'm quoting Yray;

"Didn't work, still came out yellow"

Might be a copy of this commercial. If the Chinese one is regarded as racist, this one would be too.

Yes, they are both racist. Racist ads like these date back hundreds of years.

Some cultures are quite far behind others though in these regards

black person is barefoot, poor posture, and looking dirty and shamed......... looks like the black girl could punch the lights out on that white girl.


"You messin' with me, bitch?"

Gululu 05-27-2016 09:48 AM

its only racist if u think of it under the western context.

pastarocket 05-27-2016 09:53 AM

Gululu, you gotta be kidding me. You used a racist product called Darkie toothpaste? :troll:

Calling a black person Darkie, even a toothpaste brand name, is certainly racist.

It doesn't matter what context, Western or Eastern or whatever. Calling a black person with such a degrading name for a toothpaste is disgusting! :mad:

Racism in the 21st century may be in a different form compared to the 19th century or earlier periods of humanity's history but it still exists in every country. Even China.

I scold my parents every time they call black people "black ghosts" in Cantonese. That's racist!

Damn..... mind blown

U know why SJW dont work in asia? Because people are proud of it and dont care if your little feelings get hurt.:nyan::nyan::nyan:

tiger_handheld 05-27-2016 08:04 PM

looks like the marketing co behind the commercial earned their money...

probably met the #of viral shares in a matter of hours

like Trump, any publicity is good publicity.

PiuYi 05-27-2016 08:55 PM

anyone notice his shirt was super dirty before and afterwards it was bleached clean?

RevYouUp 05-27-2016 09:57 PM

That other commercial above where the white guy turned black, it had almost zero media coverage. Why is this new commercial getting so much attention?

Its racist if you think its racist, what if it was a white guy turning black/asian/brown.. would you guys still think its as racist?

68style 05-27-2016 10:10 PM

I thought the commercial was quite progressive by China standards, allowing a black man into the house at all is a big deal there isn't it? :troll:

murd0c 05-27-2016 10:11 PM

I wouldn't wash my clothes with this, it would make all my blacks turn yellow

The racism in the Chinese add is effectively saying black ppl are dirty (not desirable), the Italian one, whilst still racist is suggesting "colored" are better - calling people of African heritage colored is racist (or at least very very non P.C.).

Which is worse? The connotations associated with the Chinese add are worse, as they're indicating a people are worse than another.

Both racist, one is more offensive

scottsman 05-27-2016 11:25 PM

The Asian guy that came out is ugly as fuck. #NOHOMO!

Could have at least picked a better looking dude to make their point.

seriously? i mean the ad is distasteful at best but the girl is pretty damn good looking imo.

Gululu 05-28-2016 12:17 AM

young Africans are joining china's shrinking manual labour force. black men working as delivery assemblers for suning.com in guangzhou, so you can see the chinese society is very accommodating to blacks. or else they wouldn't even apply for such roles
