Haha, yeah i caught this commercial.


Y'all acting like KFC hasn't been doing this to black people for YEARS.

I mean, they had a dude dance with a drumstick in hand on the last series of commercials. It kinda nice to see them get at someone else.

This isn't really funny if you understand what the food is and what they're saying. The flavor combination should make for a good sandwich though.Albeit strange for Western tongues.

Didn't think it was funny, but on a side note,

is that fried chicken and kimchi with some kind of sauce? I'd eat that...

Yeah basically. But that commercial was in Chinese...so I don't even think they sold those joints in Korea.

Everybody, black or white, male and female are dressed casually, while talking
about their favorite type of KFC chicken...once the asian males are brought into
the picture, they are dressed as Japanese cooks, speaking with
heavy accents. So this is what they consider the image for the Asian
man huh? Not unexpected. IF they were asian females, they'd be dressed casually,
giggly, not accented, and chinky.

that's the thing.. it wasn't intentional...rather the ingrained stereotype that persists about Asian males...I'm surprised theydidn't have another segment with Long Duck Dong and a big Gong sound.

And really....the problem isn't with the use of the characters...there's a time and place for it...but the entire cast of the commercial are arenormalized and regular ole folk.. Then BAM...you've got Karate Kid 1 & 2... it makes ZERO sense...and smacks of racist ignorance
 
I noticed it the first time I saw the commercial. Blatantly racist, not going to sugar coat it.

Same with McDonalds.


I don't understand how they're paying people to make these commercials. Obviously these people who make these commercials must have taken some sort ofsociology courses in college. They can't be that ignorant.


Racist, blatantly. Bigotry. Just plain ignorant. #(@* these dudes for actually making money to come up for with these commercials. Give me a 400,000 a year andI'll make some real commercials not this racist bull.

Mad? I'm downright livid.

It was intentional Dirty, please....

These people who make these commercials must have taken some sort of sociology class in college. Some sort of course that would have raised a bit of awareness.I'm not buying that "it's unintentional" stuff for a moment. Especially people in the marketing field, they definitely had to have some sortof sociology elective to satisfy, which would have touched based with some racial issues.


It's intentional and it's blatant racism. I'm believe that as a fact not as an opinion.
 
I haven't seen it, but I will take your word for it..
what about this one?

city wok. may I take a order pweese
 
Na but I'll tell you what is racist...

There's a role playing game for the iPhone called "NY Nights"...where you create a character and have to establish yourself in NY throughwhatever trade you please. In the character creation process there are presets you can choose from like "Casual", "Skater", so on and soforth. They're all white...until you get to the "Ghetto" preset and it's a black guy with braids.
