Kids playing ? Or is it "indicative of the passive racism that pervades American society" ? (Whatever "passive racism" is.....)

[Lab 10,979]

It's about time we publicly humiliate anyone that has these views....f***ing idiots.

[Deker 3,478]

What is wrong with the world?

 

Get a life!

Some will not be happy until the white face disappears all together

 

Or at least be part of a mixed race couple.....just about every advert on tv has the mandatory mixed race couple these days

I've heard Guinness is going to be banned because the white is on top of the black.

Disgusting racist ad how do they get away with printing this hateful racist propaganda, definitely going to be boycotting GAP.

 

Or if you're not insane it's just kids harmlessly playing and posing for the camera...

I just see a young girl with a handy armrest.

What a load of bollocks.. The reason "race" is still a "problem" these days is because everyone still talks about it and finds problems in the most ridiculous places where it doesn't even exist..

I wonder how many people. Members of this site included have seen this advert just because of this story?

 

I'm no conspiracy theorist but could this have been cooked up as a cheap way to get people to view the ad?

Of course it isn't racist.., passive or otherwise. It's just a marketing trick to get people talking about Gap..., and plenty have obviously taken the bait. Suckers??

I disagree. If Gap have a store there'll be protesters outside of it because of that White Power add. The protest will soon turn to a riot and the store gets looted by all the walked on victims of racism.

So how will that help Gap ?

When the rioting & looting start give me a shout. In my opinion this is constructed by clever marketers to trigger a reaction (most likely pre-planned) from the apparent ethnic victims. Whereas any sane person, black or white, wouldn't see anything 'racist' or offensive at all.., and then Gap are portrayed as actually being good guys. Job done without having to stick the poster on more than one billboard.
