People will cry about anything nowadays. 

[Gruff]

I don't get it. Why are people saying this is racist? If anything it's the opposite. It's showing two different races getting along.

Smh why they gotta hate on something as delicious as kfc chicken

[Soul]

I thought that was pretty funny it was basically the newer Karate Kid movie.

It's weird as growing up I was always hypersensitive and esp on the web up until more recently. My skin is growing thicker that even not long ago was as thin as tissue paper. So as my skin gets thicker most the people I see online's skin gets thinner to the point I think some have no skin and just a breeze hurts like a mofo they need to grow  some skin in the first place.

 

Also one thing maybe people keep saying online to others they need to grow a pair of balls..problem is balls are very sensitive. Now a puss-e..that thing can take a pounding. So people of the world spice up your lives and be a puss-e.

I'm a chicken and I find this offensive.

[LinkKennedy]

It's racist simple as that but we live in a world full of A**Holes and arrogant people so this commercial doesn't surprise me.

[Mewbot]

I'm offensive and I find this black.

[Chrop]

It's racist because a black girl is eating food, This is our society guys! 

[Lupaie]

I don't understand why you people fail to see why this is racism. Clearly, there are no white people in the film, thus saying that white people are not permitted to eat chicken, or worse, are not allowed to cross walk on the public streets of 'generic town' in china.

Second, you guys completely failing to see how people could see this as racist and acting pretty high and mighty about it is pretty dang funny.

I'm black by the way. Wasn't offended, but I can see why people might be.

Explain why then

[DANT3]

I'm not racist, I talked to a man of colour once.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Explain why then

 

He doesn't have to. It's common knowledge that there are people who cannot take a racial slur, even if it's not against them, and there are those who take it well, and know an intended joke when they see one.

 

It's basically a glass half full vs a glass half empty.

 

EDIT: *watches video* oh you guys why you make me get srs? T___T

It's racist because it's got Asians in it who apparently aren't able to speak African, despite being in schoool.

If this commercial wasn't advertising KFC I would actually find it touching.

[KeptMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

I'm assuming you know the stereotype that all black people love KFC, right?

Well asian girl here decides the first interaction she's gonna make with (clearly lonely) black girl is to invite her out by using the "universal symbol" for KFC. Because she'll definitely know what the symbol is cause she's black, and because she'll definitely want to go cause she's black. Then she does know what it is cause she's black, and she does want to go cause she's black.

At least that's one way of looking at it. Real talk, a black person was kind of a bad choice some ways. They should have seen people would see this as racist. I understand that they probably actually chose a black person cause there are only like 10 in all of asia.

In Asia, the stereotype for what Black People eat, is worms, not chicken.
I believe you are applying your own understanding of Black People.
This leads me to conclude that it is YOU who is truly racist.

Ah okay, I didn't know that KFC was stereotyped with black people. In the Netherlands I think we stereotype KFC with Americans in general. Maybe because we have a very tolerant and open society here. So maybe the fact that we don't discriminate as much was the reason I failed to see the stereotype.
