This is a real ad from KFC in Australia that just started airing.
"What do you do when surrounded by black people? Give them a bucket of chicken!"

Not racist, but it's funny:
Cricket. Australia is playing the West Indies cricket team this summer. The cricket telecast is sponsored by KFC. Thus the premise of the ad is "What do you do when you're sitting amongst the opposition fans? Make yourself popular by buying them all food." So no it's not racist at all, when put into context.You do realize that they're soccer/rugby/footy fans, and he's sitting among the fans of the opposing team, right?
I reckon about 99.99% of Australians would have absolutely no idea about that racial stereotype. It's an American thing.Black people like chicken.

Except today KFC released a press statement saying that they have pulled the ad and apologized if it offended anyone.
But you're correct, I'm sure Australian KFC execs didn't sit down and go, "Hey, how can we sell more chicken, I know, lets make a racist commercial!"
Anyone offended by that commercial should apologize to society for the shitty job their parents did raising them, lol...
um....i really dont give a shit one way or another....but that commercial is racist
one white dude surrounded by black people saying its an awkward situation so he hands them chicken
....Its a shallow argument to say he's referring to being a fan of the other team....thats the argument that they justified it with but....bullshit
Because it was posted on youtube, and Americans got their knickers in a knot over it, then the media took hold, and sensationalized it, and KFC just took the quickest, easiest option to be done with the whole thing.Except today KFC released a press statement saying that they have pulled the ad and apologized if it offended anyone.
In the US of A it's racist because that stereotype exists, but in Australia it doesn't.um....i really dont give a shit one way or another....but that commercial is racist
