Lighten up at some casual dehumanization, you pussies.
the commercial people are getting offended over [media]https://youtu.be/Xq-I0JRhvt4[/media] the commercial it was copied from that nobody got offended over [media]https://youtu.be/HQQs3nl0LcY[/media]
Am I seriously the only one who doesn't give a shit about stuff like this? It honestly seems to me people are pretty much faking outrage just to have something going on in their lives.

[QUOTE=Perrine;50410660] the commercial it was copied from that nobody got offended over [media]https://youtu.be/HQQs3nl0LcY[/media][/QUOTE] That one makes no sense. He came out all dirty!
[QUOTE=Turnips5;50410674]are you black[/QUOTE] No I'm white and I also don't give a shit about Italian ad either. What's your point, do you think just because someone is black he is instantly a poor oppressed victim because of some ad or something?
[QUOTE=Dzonintz;50410679]No I'm white and I also don't give a shit about Italian ad either. What's your point, do you think just because someone is black he is instantly a poor oppressed victim or something?[/QUOTE] nah I just wanted to know thanks

I think the joke (although it's alittle racist) is that the guy is black so he's "dirty". Yeah it's racist but let's stop pretending like we're not all JUST ALITTLE BIT racist.

I find it painfully ironic that they're saying the west is too sensitive when their government is the very definition of sensitive. [QUOTE=Dzonintz;50410679]No I'm white and I also don't give a shit about Italian ad either. What's your point, do you think just because someone is black he is instantly a poor oppressed victim or something?[/QUOTE] It has nothing to do with slavery, just the stereotype that black people = dirty race that needs to be purified.
The Chinese ad is best but the Italian Ad reminds me of the Old Spice commercials honestly. Like, I just want him to jump out of the washing machine and go "I'm on a horse"
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50410692] It has nothing to do with slavery, just the stereotype that black people = dirty race that needs to be purified.[/QUOTE] Then how did a white guy come out black in the Italian version?
Another case of people reading way too deep into things and looking to get offended.

Now you're making too much out of this [editline]28th May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=KommradKommisar;50410697]Another case of people reading way too deep into things and looking to get offended.[/QUOTE] Thank you
[QUOTE=Dzonintz;50410696]Then how did a white guy come out black in the Italian version?[/QUOTE] Italian version detergent was meant to add color to your clothes.
Snip
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50410703]Italian version detergent was meant to add color to your clothes.[/QUOTE] In that case, do you not agree both Ad's are atleast alittle racist? Or are you on the "Nope, the Chinese Ad is the only Racism I see here" Train?
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50410703]Italian version detergent was meant to add color to your clothes.[/QUOTE] And it blatantly states colored is better at the end. Also does it seriously have to be about negroid race or did maybe, just maybe they pick the black guy coming out as white because those colors are contrasted and usually something dirty is a darker shade than something clean?? [QUOTE=Duck M.;50410706]You cannot let this shit fly etc[/QUOTE] It's literally some ad made for comedic effect, you're being bunch of drama queens. Talk about being sheltered.
What's funny is us (A bunch of white facepunchers) are trying to tell everyone what is and isn't racist when the Black Guy who took the part in the chinese ad and was paid for it obviously didn't think TOO MUCH of it.

Bahar Mustafa to be reached for comment on this matter. More on this story at ten.
It's like we're going back to the 50's with all the racist soap ads.

rofl what the fuck its like when will people stop looking at skin color as anything but a defininig trait of who you are like your fuckin eyes
[QUOTE=dannyketch;50410699]Purified? Now you're making too much out of this [/QUOTE] I don't see how, but that's probably just me. Or you. This video was posted in the video section a day before, someone linked this video of a similar, older gag. [QUOTE=momoiro;50407262][video=youtube;vbK9xTy7m-A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbK9xTy7m-A[/video] Sweden was first!![/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;50407538]That's beautiful. "Santa(not really santa, but a figure like that) always wins through. It will even turn a nigger white"[/QUOTE] Idk what the deal with some people. If you straight up say "Yeah it will clean niggers" then (HOPEFULLY) people say "Yeah this is obvious racism". If you show a black person being transformed into what implies a more superior race, then apparently that isn't racist because "Oh you're overanalyzing it because you used 2 more braincells"
Well technically they're not wrong.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50410748] If you show a black person being transformed into what implies a more superior race, then apparently that isn't racist because "Oh you're overanalyzing it because you used 2 more braincells"[/QUOTE] You're being so dishonest and ignoring my point on purpose, the Italian video shows whites as scrawny guys who transform into superior fit flexing black people and there is even outright text in the ad saying colored is better.
[QUOTE=Dzonintz;50410736]Is this a shitpost, or are there seriously people who classify posts based on poster's skin color? Would it matter if I was black and made that post?[/QUOTE] No. I'm just making fun of the godawful trend of white people (such as yourself here) trying to tell me shit that is offensive isn't offensive and I'm just looking outrage. I'll let you in on a little secret, I thought the add was a bit funny the first time I saw it, but overall, it was in shit taste. If you were black and said your previous statements, you'd come off as a huge try-hard. I'm not going to let some random Serbian dude tell me as a black male in America what I should and should not be fuckin offended by, ok?
