Is this racist?



Not a new commercial, but still worth an examination. What are your thoughts?

Is racist too harsh a word for this commercial? Does it rely on prejudice? Is it dependent on stereotypes?

I'll leave my thoughts in the comment section.

I could talk about this commercial for numerous reasons. For now, I'll focus on the stereotype that white people can't dance unless (or even if) under the influence of beer.

Saw your comment over at stereohype and decided to visit your home.

Very nice

Moreover, to answer your question about these commercials, I would say it is insensitive and treading racist waters. Most of the red stripe commercials are cutting it close.
