Nataliam- I agree.

this issue is quite ridiculous. Only in America where blacks and whites (and asians) would this be politically incorrect.

If this was the Carribean, there would probably be no white folks in the ad or even Asians for that matter. Just black.

so Im not surprised about the ad aimed at the polish consumer. we cannot assume that every ad in every country will/should be the same. Unless an polish citizen of african descent can argue this

*ready for the flames, but be gentle*

disclaimer: if the asian guy was edited out, my comment above would still stand

Thank you, voice of reason.

The truth no matter how you slice it, is that Polish people are more used to Asians than to black people being their neighbours. And its not like we chose to have it this way.
