Since we must see everything through the lens of race these days...



I wonder how a commercial with races flipped would be received... maybe a tennis or golf company should make one.

Only white person and asian are portrayed one way... the asian is using an inhaler ffs.

30+ black people portrayed differently.

Again, flip the races.

How bout we see a golf commercial where all the white people looked one way, and the only black person cheats on his wife, abuses drugs and wrecks vehicles...

Anyone who has had a kid in basketball and participated the various leagues, camps, select tournaments, etc, knows how culturally significant basketball is in the black community. It's damn near religion. I mean kids to olds, male and female, it's a big freakin deal.

I thought the commercial was fine and on target.

So since golf is popular to white people, we should expect the oposite, and you'll be okay with it?

Ewww yucky white people! So dumb and dirty...and sweaty and greasy! And you have to intervene when they are cat-calling and hitting on women! Only in the position they are in in Western Civilization by the grace of Wakanda.

I see your point. But my sense of humor overrides any need for outrage. I thought the sweaty, fat, white guy was funny. And yes, a token in a commercial aimed at the black community.

I think a token black guy on a golf course slicing his shot and his white friends cringe would be funny as hell. Of course they would never put something like that out there.

I want America to start laughing again and stop being so god damned sensitive.

Any parents remember this?

I agree. People will need to get back to being willing to laugh at themselves.

Anyone who has been that kid knows there's a tremendous amount of racism hurled at whites trying to play basketball. Good luck to the white kid trying to play pick up games at the park, from personal experience that's no fun, even when you've got some game.

And that's the hell of it; when blacks gatekeep whites out of their culture it's acceptable, when whites do the same it's a criminal offense. Let's see a commercial where a bunch of whites and asians refuse to play chess with a black kid, think that one will be viewed as humorous?

I'm a troll, and I'm sorry for discounting the fact that the last several years have been full of attacks on white people. I'm especially sorry for my opinions on George Floyd, and race relations in general. I'm wrong for supporting cancel culture, and I'm being disingenuous when I say that I have no idea why anyone would be even a bit upset at the ad.


Fify. Next time you have a job interview let me know, I can edit your correspondences.

Just posted this as a discussion and pointed out the obvious hypocrisy. Any emotions you are reading into "my sound" are just your own projections.

"You're triggered" is just a way to deflect and shut down healthy conversations... sounds fascist.

The operative word is "themselves." I actually am a person, and I do have opinions. That is just basic truth.

After the ad and social engineering campaigns from democrats, the wef, and wfa over the last several years I get looked at veeeeeeery differently by those you call "people of color."

While people of all races have participated in war, overwhelmingly the population of our military, and our allies, was 'white' during the bloodiest wars in our/their history. Those men faced almost certain destruction, so sycophants & "people of color," could make fun of their descendents, and spit on/burn the flag they endured hell for...sad. That is one of the greater evils that has been perpetuated within our society in the modern era.
