so alot of people have been sayng this australian kfc ad is racist because theres a group of people there all black and theres only one white guy and he wants to see some cricket game or shit and all of the people are exited and jumping around and the white guy can't see so he pulls out a bucket of kfc and it calms down the crowd so he can view his game or whatever and people are saying this is racist due to the fried chicken stereotype.

Well it's true. The Watts Riot was ended with a single bucket of KFC.

A single bucket of chicken ended the pillaging and looting in New Orleans after katrina.

well.. going by what people (liberals) today think is racist, then yes it is. but if the races were switched and it was a bunch of white people jumping around it would be perfectly acceptable.

so NO its not fucking racist. get over it. all its saying is black people like to party or something.

One thing I don't get about society though is why must they do things like use the word "Australia" or whatever country as if to pitch off the blame or something? Who cares what country it is, it's race that really matters there

Of course I'm just being over-sensitive about my country and if it was any other country I wouldn't give a shit. And yeah the ad is very stereotypical, and racist because of the bad way they are portraying black people.

Only a racist person could understand that this is racist.
I think what they're trying to show is some person, who has got nothing in common with all of these different people, but when he hands out the KFC, he realises that everybody loves KFC and that brings them together.
Thats my thought anyway.

Let me blow your mind with some logic: Media commonly reinforces stereotypes. You know, like all football fans are unintelligent violent beings and all Russians are part of the Russian Mafia. What I don't quite understand is: Why is it that when we start doing stereotypes of black people, it's instantly viewed as racist?

Because black people in America are a minority (even though I'm not american, I assume most people reading this will be), whereas football fans are a majority where football is popular, or Russians in Russia.

The black people are from the West Indies, at the time this commercial was made Australia was playing against The West Indies in a cricket series, it wouldn't of mattered if the other supporters were English, South African or Pakistani the same concept applies that one supporter in the middle of a group of other supporters for a different team is going to be uncomfortable.
KFC is only saying that KFC makes rivals friends.

It's annoying that the U.S can just call Australia racist over something that has nothing to do with America, without any knowledge or context of the subject.

Sorry if someone already mentioned this, i only skimmed through.

I tell my black coworker all the time to eat some fried chicken and collard greens... and how about that kool-aid.

it's only racist if you're an easily offended piece of shit. and in that case.. i take great pride in offending you whether you be black white asian or hispanic

That, is racist in itself,
Like people fretting over Resident Evil 5 just because black people are in it, when they weren't complaining when it was set in Spain.

It's only racist if you think it is. It could be interpreted in so many ways.
No I don't think it's racist.
