Is this Chinese detergent ad racist?

I love the ending with the ridiculous fat dolphin (whale?). Reminds me of The Simpsons episode where they go to Japan.

When she first stuffed him in the washer I laughed and thought what's the big deal. Then it came back and I laughed harder. That was pretty racist. Still funny though!

What about this Italian one?

Han Chinese boy is more preferable. Her washing skill are impeccable.

(it does seem a little racist hah)

same here.. i was like, no, it's not racist, it's just funny

until i saw what came out

edit: also *insert "shrunk in the wash" joke here

Chinese women (well hetero ones anyways) have some pretty f-up sense of sexual attraction. Rest of the world would prefer the unwashed guy; he's better looking than that androgynous lady boy that came out after. No homo

And yes, this is racist AF, but China will be China.

Agreed. China doesn't give a shit.

Wait you mean to tell me that all populations on earth have a racist bent to them? holy f.. colour me... ah **** it everyone who has even seen a bit of the world would tell you that. I simply find it funny :D

and who ever linked the Italian one, that one is gold too :D

But the Chinese ad changed a reasonably good looking black man for a girlie Chinese one. The black dude on the Italian one is a frigging stud!

I demand 140 million dollars in emotional damages.

LMAO this has got to be contender this year WTF moment. I lost it when she stuffed a detergent pack in the dude mouth then shoved him in the washer. Did not see that coming at all. Well played China well played.

I actually thought it was funny.

My question is, where did they find a black dude in China?

They had one, but thanks to that lady now they have zero.

I thought the same thing. I also could have sworn they called the thing, "Chubby Chimp" which only made it funnier at first glance.

lol..hilarious. Pretty sure that won't be allow in the US though. :P

If the situation was reversed,and it was a black guy came out of the washer,their would be no thread on this and nothing else said about it.And trust me,I'm not against any color,language,religion,etc ...Nobody can make a move or say anything to someone who is black,without"look their Racist" BS.

No, only white people can be racist.

This is stupid and you should feel bad for writing it.

@Byshop: "They had one, but thanks to that lady now they have zero."

Yeah, she bogus.

I thought it was fucking hilarious. There are some cases in which light hearted racism is meant to be taken as a joke, just like this commercial. Those Mexican jokes you hear at work? Yeah, supposed to be funny AND THEY ARE! Jesus, does everything have to be offensive to people? I curse the day a fart becomes a politically incorrect racial statement.

Ad of the year.

No, non-white people can't be racist. This is SJW 101

+1 nothing to add really...except [kind of ashamed to admit it] I was mildly offended.

Only way it'd be more was if the first guy was holding a watermelon and a chicken leg.

*shrugs* I guess it is... but when there are no Chinese Black people (well, almost none) to be offended by it the question becomes 'so what?'.

Likewise. We should sue them together.

Yes it is racist, and yes the Italian one is also somewhat racist, but for two or three reasons that I won't bother listing, it is significantly less "bad" than the Chinese one. I would rather not see either on TV though, it is not funny, and doesn't really do a good job promoting the product at all, kind of pointless.

It's blatantly racist.

No it's not Racist ..... because the asian guy looks like a girl, plus ....the Black guy is hotter ... like black mat damon

well yeah, it is racist...

All i could think was "this took an unexpected turn"...

I had a few that's-kinda-tasteless moments in Japan. There's a lot, and I mean a lot, of black face things.

Just like these comments.....

Yes. But that woman has some fine boobies though.

His acting was terrible though.

@themajormayor: "But that woman has some fine boobies though."

That's a push up bra.

And what was wrong with the acting?

@hippiesanta: Before I comment on this topic, where did you get that picture? Cracked me up

A wee bit.

First things first as a black person(I have avoided race threads these days, so its been awhile since I broke that out) I think both ads are offensive(but not really racist) at the same time they both are funny. IDK hmmmm I agree with the rest of you guys said, atleast in the first one the guy seemed fairly attractive before going into the machine, while in the Italian one the black guy was better after coming out. In the chinese one it is a member of the ladies race that comes out, while in the Italian one it is a black dude in a majority white country lol. Now if it was a black women in the chinese ad, and she turned a black man into an Asian then I would have flipped out laughing. I personally refuse to be offended by this, I just wonder where this company found the black guy lol. My ex was chinese and told me she did not interact with any blacks or hispanics until she came to America, so of course they will only use media portrayals.

just google "black matt damon" or "asian brad pit" or "asian mark whalberg" or "asian peter griffin"

You can find Nigerian citizen everywhere now in Asia ... and the rest of the world ..... they are like the new Filipino ..... looking for opportunities outside their homeland

No different from the ads in the past, except this has Han Chinese supremacy.

So yeah, pretty racist. Didn't really see it as funny either.

But what's a yellow skinned person gotta do to get white skin? Do they have a product for that?

@one_plum: Bleach.....

LMAO

That was hilarious

Kind of racist

But still hilarious
