Sachinism Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FftZt-Dw_hQ]YouTube- Racist KFC advertisement?[/ame] I can't believe they were allowed to air that
Online Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 What's wrong? An Aussie cricket fan surrounded by WI supporters ... don't read too much into it
Sachinism Posted January 3, 2010 Author Posted January 3, 2010 It kinda sends the message, 'to calm down a crazy bunch of black people, just give them some chicken' Really plays out the stereotype
Sooda Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 ^Really? Could have been ANY set of noisy supporters there though. The fact that they were WIndians dosent make a diffy... ?They could have been Indian fans..or the Barmy Army...

urbestfriend Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Well there's a stereotype that black people like chicken and they've made use of that Stereotypes are not racism. for ex: Dhoni's 'mind it' ad is based on stereotypes of south Indians in which Dhoni sports a big mush, wearing Lungi shouts "mind it". Does that also amount to racism?
Desi Cartman Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 They have 5-10 ads like these .. from bribing white security guards with chicken to giving chicken to shut up the house mates ... I dont see anything wrong with it
lonestarranger Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Nothing wrong with the ad as I see it. He just mentions 'awkward' - which, in my book, is dang true.
punjabi_khota Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 You could have replaced black people with punjabis and it will still be a correct ad. Chicken :woot: :eating:
yoda Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 what I find odd is not about chicken and black people, but more about why he feels "awkward" amongst them.
punjabi_khota Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 what I find odd is not about chicken and black people' date=' but more about why he feels "awkward" amongst them.[/quote'] He is stuck among rival fans. :dontknow:
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Black people love fried chicken Thats a stereotype in US. I dont know whether it applies in WI.
punjabi_khota Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 BTW, ALL KFC commercials in US have ONLY black people in it. Something to think about. :hahaha:
Desi Cartman Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Black people love fried chicken Thats a stereotype in US. I dont know whether it applies in WI. huh ! check other ads in this series. Its about getting rid off all distractions to watch cricket. Like I said they bribed a white guy , gave chicken to female to shut her up and then handed over chicken to west Indian supporters .. What else are they gonna give away to promote KFC ... paneer tikka ?

Its like having an ad for car insurance with an Asian female who cannot parallel park. Even if the same ad is part of a series with every ethnic races, that ad would be pulled up for stereotyping. The KFC ad and my example are stereotypes but i wouldn't say they are racists.But i am not the group in either commercial, so naturally i am not offended,but i would guess African americans and Asian female drivers would be. I am not saying that they intentionally used that stereotype, its probably just by accident (like you said, the other ads have the same theme with females and while guys), but as soon as i saw this ad, thats the only stereotype i could think of. Now if the thread title read "Funny KFC cricket commercial", i wouldn't have thought about the stereotype. Its just because of the thread title, i saw the video trying to find the "racist" part.
King Tendulkar Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Black people love fried chicken Thats a stereotype in US. I dont know whether it applies in WI. But its true:--D Windians love goat curry and rice as well
Desi Cartman Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 But its true:--D Windians love goat curry and rice as well So do I :woot:
Dravid Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 does seem a bit racist... to shut up a bunch of loud noisy black ppl , get KFC :D
