Looks like blatant racism to me.
Can you imagine the uproar if a commercial showed a group af blacks, dressed up a la gangsta, attempting to rob a white person, only to be distracted when said white person pulls out a bottle of Ole E malt liquor & throws it so the Blacks will run after it?!
Making fun of Non Whites = Baaaaaad.
Making fun of of whites = gooooooood.
BTW, the commercials are obviously fantasy as every one knows it's The Jews that control banking.

In all honesty i'm not losing any sleep over it. I'm just pointing out the difference of tolerance among the races (you guys have proved this for me). I also wanted your opinions on if you think this advertising campaign is racist.

Basically.
I also like how they plug the fact they're "nationally recognized by numerous publications as an employer of choice for women and minorities." Well no ****! Look at your commercials! It’s no surprise they seek you out for employment and you openly accept.

One thing i think that has to change is people need to stop looking for racism. Stop complaining about everything being racist, just because a commercial makes an obvious point by using race doesn't make them racist. Does this company show any real negativity towards a specific race? No, I don't feel that it does. Racism is about hating another person for being of a different race, not recognizing the differences.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, racism is also defined by our society as being less than that. My point is had this been a perfect world where one side doesn't complain about most everything remotely "racist" (a lot of minorities in this country), then I wouldn't care. The main objective of this is to show how this would have been an issue had it been a bunch of black man behind the rope with a white wamu host. The fact this type of advertising is what it is comes in at a distant second.
