I am Native American. I was wearing my traditional clothing and got called a racist. I explained that I am in fact Native. I was told I still shouldn't wear it because I can pass as white. All of this by a white man.
That is too funny.
stapuft
I was told I was being racist when I quoted a line from space balls. May the Schwartz be with you. I asked how is that racist. The guy said it's racist against Jewish people. I said first off, it's a line from a movie written and directed by a Jewish man, Mel Brooks. And secondly, I'm Jewish. He was dumbfounded said oh and walked off. No matter what you do, someone is going to have a issue with something.
ふくてゃtまん
My daughter is 1/4 Native Washington American. A teacher at her school told her that she's too light to be native. Native Washingtonians don't look like "plains indians" and we're not red skinned.
What the actual fuck?
im pretty sure whenever cracked puts the word "racist" or "sexist" in a title, people click dislike before clicking play
yup
+the1janitor I couldn't possibly think of a single other reason why something claiming racism and sexism, would thumbs down.
Unless............maybe people don't buy into victimhood bullshit as much as they used to?
Try Buzzfeed, I'm sure they'll accommodate whatever confirmation bias you got.
***** I'm amused by how defensive you are.
the1janitor Almost as amused as to how racist you are?
+Liam MacRoibin and the fact that this vid wont get off my recommended list! its really annoying
I'm an Asian. And I live in South Asia.
I only get offended (in a racial way) when someone says they don't like rice.
BASMATI RICE
i don't like rice and I'm southeast Asian. there's little to no nutrients in it
LOL That was funny. Am I only allowed to laugh because an Asian person made this joke???
I don’t like brown rice. Does that make it better?
I just wanted to post a comment. So here it is.
Wow, that 70s ad was vomit inducing, the way he that said sexy baby stuff made my soul die.
Was funny tho
It's pretty fucked up.
your soul was already dead go watch some moral oral
You know you googled that shit right after you finished this video you sicko!
" the way he that said sexy baby stuff made my soul die." - good, now your brain won't be lonely in the afterlife
"A cuddle clean baby who grew up very sexy"
Aren't we all? 😜😂
you want your baby to grow up to be an incel? you monster.
oh the cringe
My reaction to that ad: 🤮🤮🤮
OMFG though so crazy LMAO!
okay youtube I clicked on this video! now will you please stop recommending it?
+DefoNotObsessed OMG I'm glad I"m not the only one. Shit.
Im not the only one!:D
+DefoNotObsessed I know right. I hit the thumbs-down button without watching it, maybe now it'll go away.
Hehehe...if it were only that easy!!!
+DefoNotObsessed same
Is that a lollipop meant to attract lolicons?
Oh, I thought she was just biting an embroidery hoop.
I wore Love's Baby Soft. It was a nice gentle scent but that ad is waaaay creepy. I saw the ads in teen mags in the late 80s.
alleycatalog Me too, it was my first cologne.
Yeah.. This one is a 10 on the creep-O meter. for sure.. :D
@@CasusBelli1000 id say 100 on the creep o metre
I hate how everyone thinks Asians are only either Chinese or Japanese.
+Jun Moreno I just think they make killer chinese food no matter what Asian they are!
Am I really the only one who thinks this is funny?
lmao wat
No one else does.
Because they are the coolest of the Asians and you forgot about Koreans.
It's like this.
- Japanese : Anime
- Chinese : Martial Arts
- Koreans : 600$ phones and video games.
I swear everytime the word "racism" is in some video title there are a swarm of anti-sjw babbies spouting the same shit like a bunch of first graders closing their ears and yelling "LALALALALALA"
+Corona645 No, that would be the people who spout this PC bullshit.
"LALALALALALALA"
Corona645 You saying that shows you do the exact same thing the "anti-sjws" are doing
I'm sorry, Mr. Matrian, but anti-sjw's are becoming as bad as sjw nowadays. But, this is just my opinion.. People need to stop acting like they're particular group has the moral high-ground, when every single group has decent people & hateful, close minded people. You're probably going to bitch at me for this comment, aren't you...? ~sigh~
Hunter Yaluja There are no doubt there anti-sjws who are just as bad as the sjws. But this video is full of misinformation and inaccuracies. He tries to say that sexism is what caused the attempted Reagan assassination, when really John Hinckley, Jr. had an obsession with Jodie Foster and wanted to impress her(also keep in mind that Jodie Foster was 19 when this happened).
bruh i thought this whole channel was for Roger. i am now discovering there are other vids lmao. Roger bro i miss u
That first ad was so disgusting, the others too
Im assuming you are a girl
@@OneRichMofo they don’t have to be female to find that ad disgusting
Yeah the first one DISGUSTING!
@@OneRichMofo And I’ll be assuming you’re a male, as you’re objectifying women.
@@OneRichMofo what does being a woman have to do with that???
I feel like people will just dislike when they see the words racism or sexism. DId you even watch the video? These ads were gross
No they were not gross.
couldnt read the responses here for all the privilige
This was less about the adds and more about ensuring everyone that white Americans are racist. Did you not even watch it to the end?
+Andy John You guys are creepy. Those child ads are definitely gross.
+Okkl So say what?
cracked: your not racist, unless your white.
+shunkaha isn't it racist to suggest that since you are white you are racist?
*you're
Jeniko
nope, according to all the SJWs you cant be racists toward white people.
Fae Harmon
never said it didnt. i was mocking the guys logic where he stated "all white people are racist and cant be not racist, just subtle racist."
+shunkaha Where in the video did it say that? At what second?
as an estonian i always get overly excited when a video mentions my country (cuz it never rlly happens)
..well this time ... ehh
Estonia? A country filled with introverts? Hard to believe.
Watch the movie Encino Man, they mention it a lot.
That must have been deeply disappointing.
Tough break bro, cheers from latvia.
Big thing i know from Estonia is that you guy's were trying to enter the nordic countries and y'all got oil
Ooh boy 20k dislikes can't wait to go into the comments
20k pedro's is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Meh, I disliked because the video is too fast paced and there are no natural breaks. Makes it hard to follow and impossible to watch all the way through. I was actually interested in the topic though!

is this a joke?

This is what I deserve for going into the comments section. Perpetuate this post to warn the others.
Sad and surprised by the like bar and comments. I'm a centrist who leans conservative, but I thought this was great. Being a decent and thoughtful person shouldn't be a partisan issue.

As an australian, I learned from this video that fried chicken was racist in america.
Cِommie-chan Americans are constantly inventing shit to be offended about.
Darrell G ikr
Not the chicken just idiots who try and pretend blacks are the only ones who eat it, or that they eat fried Exclusively, try going to lunch with a co-worker who gets upset that you're going for steak, and they want fried chicken, (not even that he wanted the chicken he'd heard that I sometimes eat mine with a fork and knife) and the fact that you're eating steak ruined the whole reason for them accepting the invitation to lunch.
Never seen a man fall apart so quickly over something so stupid, lucky he didn't have to walk back to work.
It's almost as if we've unknowingly been fetishised in some people's minds, I'm thinking really what the fuck is it about seeing another man eat fried chicken that made this so important to you. Then I had to turn it off because I didn't like the direction my own thoughts were taking.
There's quite a bit of history there. When the slaves were first freed, the farm land they were allocated was as a rule of thumb small and poor quality. Black people however learned to make do by raising chicken (which require little space) and watermelons (which can thrive on very poor quality soil as long as there's enough water). These food items not only became stables in their diet, eventually becoming part of the cuisine, but were also popular enough to allow the farmers to prosper.
This irked the pro-slavery folk to no end, as the crux of their argument had been that black people HAD to be kept in slavery since they simply couldn't take care of themselves. So they started painting chicken and watermelons as the food of simpletons which black people produced and ate not because they were cheap, tasty and easy to produce, but because they were obsessed with them and just couldn't help themselves. So the stereotype has a pretty ugly history behind it, and the negative connotations have never fully faded.
Darrell G allergic to watermelon.......poor souls.
I told my mom once that the Love's Baby Soft commercial as was one of the worst ads I'd ever seen. She proceeded to attack me and told me that the ad was _completely harmless_ and that I and anyone else who didn't like the ad were "offended babies" (ironic)
The only three theories I have for how I could've gotten such a reaction is either
A: She hasn't seen it in 45 years and is misremembering it,
B: She's been hiding something,
or C: She knows it's a horrible ad and is just attacking me just to attack me.
My money's on C.
Oh my god, is that Micky Dolenz as your pfp??
I think this video was made before the washing machine ad where the girl shoves the black guy in the washer and he comes out a light skinned Asian guy implying that dark skin is dirty and bad but yeah. That one.
Asia’s a whole new can o’ worms. In japan, darker skin is associated with hard work, as in the lower class, so it’s not preferable. Most Asians for some reason have a thing against dark skin, pale is skin is much preferred in most Asian countries for reasons beyond me.
Best advert EVER 😂😂
#relateableoldman 👴🏻 Blacks still don't asians. The same thing you can do to me. I can do it to you. Nuff Said
Why is it always white people who are targetted for racism then, if Asian people have this common trope of pretty much displaying blackface in their media?
" for reasons beyond me."
" darker skin is associated with hard work, as in the lower class, so it’s not preferable. "
you just explained it but say you dont understand....... wut
>7 racist and sexist ads that came out recently
>First thing on the list is an ad from the 70's
YOU HAD ONE JOB!
+lcjr And it's more pedophilia apology than sexist or racist
+lcjr it says "shockingly recent". not "came out recently". these are very different things.
+lcjr - Good Ref., even if I hate G.O.T. ;)
The Progressives demand that all White people HATE themselves, and I guess they have to atone for the orginal sin of their skin color by... giving lots of money away?
Glad I'm Asian, but in looks like the guy that made this Hates me for that... time to block Cracked and this silly spin-off too.
+Sushi Time are you really high, drunk, stupid, or some combination of these three.
Graey Daze - I'm exercising my free choice, Herr Kommissar. Funny how your side always has a problem with that, and accuse people of all kinds of crazy shit whenever the choice does not tow your party line.
What are we supposed to think of this hyper-senstive Preaching disguised as something that fails to be funny and accuses all the poor white people watching it of Hate Crimes by virtue of their existence?
If I used this a-hole's own standards against him, I could get him banned fro what he says about Asians.
But we have a sense of humor about these things, why don't you?
I love how no one is even touching the first ad.
Like *literally everyone* agrees it’s disturbing.
I've watched it twice - that girl is hot.

+Nus Mus i felt the exact same way. he was all over the damn place! annoying!
I liked that. Moved along at a fast pace
You're just slow.
Man, you guys are real touchy whenever anyone points racism or sexism out. I wonder what that's about.
Because people don't like being called things they aren't. If you treat everyone the same, and are called racist, that'll piss you off. Besides, have you seen Asian racism. Worse than white.
maybe yall should stop being sensitive and realize that when sexism/racism is being called out, you shouldnt be worried about it if you arent actually racist or sexist. obviously YOU'RE not being talked about. if you're offended, maybe you've got problems that you're worried are being called out.
Mariah Are people literally coming up to you and saying you're racist or sexist? Because as someone from a primarily white heritage, neither myself nor my family members have ever encountered this. Maybe there *is* a reason you're targeted specifically, and you'd rather not admit it 😉
@@elly8353 problem is, whenever people say they're not racist, people say that they're lying. Doesn't matter what you say or do
a stupid bitch in a lonely ditch hey, I'm calling you out on your sexism and racism. Now your either both those things or you will defend yourself and by your logic be both those things
I am happy to be white and no guilt here. Content of a person's character is the name of the game...
As you should be. You didn't choose your skin color either. The content is lacking in many these days.
"person's character" - didn't someone else really smart and famous say that?
with ya
No one is expecting you to feel guilty. Treating others like people and not denigrating them doesn't require guilt. It also doesn't require guilt to recognize that there is still racism in the world, and that it's a problem to deal with.
Why the three periods at the end like there was about to be a "buuut then again" lol
The Australian ad was taken out of context.The guy in the ad is uncomfortable because he is seated amongst the opposing fans at a Australia and West Indies cricket match (fearce rivals).Like a Bears fan in a Packers section or yakees and red sox.But minus the context it looks super racist.
This was a poor example of Australian racism. The KFC ad was made after a successful ad, where the bloke was sitting in the middle of the barmy army. His example of Germany was close. But that being said we have a lot to be ashamed of. Just not that KFC ad
You don’t have to be ashamed of anything, if you’re not the one who’s racist then you have nothing to be ashamed of white guilt is bs.
Of course your comment doesn't get many likes.. 😔 It doesn't fit the narrative of super racist white people
@@damian.gamlath The comments has a lot of likes. And there are a lot of white people being racist. I don't know how you equated one to the other.
Oh. You mean like a Dallas Cowboys fan seated among Philadelphia Eagles fans. I get it.
But here's what's being pointed out: White man giving chicken to Black people to make them like him. The advertisers should have used rival teams with fans of similar ethnic backgrounds to avoid what was being pointed out.

The bulk of the comments are people who do not wanna see how fucked up our worldviews are, and instead rush to bash Cracked for making pointed commentary on it. How about reflecting on how we view our lives and the people in it and attempt to come to terms with the fact we are raised into a lot of these derogatory traits so we can improve ourselves?
Ironically, this is one of the few videos in which the clickbait title is fairly well-named.
+OverlordMMM Thank you. I felt like reading most of the comments on this video was going to give me eye cancer.
is the 70's still "schockingly recent"?
i mean, that's like 3-4 generations ago.
That's the decade where "blaxploitation" and "sexploitation" movies were at their peak. . .
3-4 generations ago? A generation is 33 years. Was your great granny really rocking it in the '70's and now u have kids of your own?
What a bizarre time capsule this is. Both for the world and for Cracked.
Word
the hipster guy is dressed almost exactly like the smug white guy in the intel ad.
At 7:21 he makes a joke about that
does the word "hipster" mean anything now, or is it just "dude I don't like" ?
+polymphus it basically means "Trendy" people, which everyone else hates.
The hipster guy dressed like the white guy in the intel knows that he is dressed like the white guy in the intel ad and he makes a joke about himself being dressed similarly to the white guy in the intel ad please watch the video.
Being a hipster douchebag ironically still makes you a hipster douchebag.

1:26 so racist/sexist ads are 'controversial' but mocking people who suffered from strokes is OK? Later in the video ( 3:05 ), he even feels sorry for people who are offended by that Nike ad, while he insulted people with a medical condition only a few minutes ago.
Yep, agreed
yeah that was odd. this whole video he came off as super ingenuine. i wish the offensive ads were just a compilation without him
he was being sarcastic
I laughed through this whole post. Love your sarcastic wit and commentary.
"... And apparently immediately stopped listening"
That Love’s Baby Soft commercial is going to make my therapist work for her money
Cracked has become Buzzfeed. No guys, it's clearly not popular, it's niche. No guys, you're not better than you used to be.
I usually ere on the side of "oh stop whining about shit, Cracked" but holy shit were these ads surprising.
where's Roger Horton when we need him?!
The Love's Baby Soft commercial is hilariously out there! Thanks for the tip.
As an Australian, I can confirm we definitely do not have the "fried chicken" stereotype of black people, most were genuinely surprised when the ad caused a fuss overseas. But we can certainly be accused of being a casually racist nation.
+ric Just shows that America has ruined pretty much EVERYTHING for the world, including fucking chicken.
+ric
It's cool that you can own up. Wish we Americans had the guts to do that more
That's what one could call "american culture hegemony". If sth has some connotation in the USA society, Americans expect to feel the same guilt-feeling from others. It is like expecting from "kiwis" to be mentally obeyed to "aussies" in every interpretation of the surrounding world. There is sth wrong with american transformation of narratives about the world. They are a huge partner for others, but should not repeat the faults and insults of the past, by extending to other countries/nations, their struggle with redefinition of narratives. Maybe USA feels alone on its path through demythologization of culture etc. but they always want to be the avantgarde. Are they afraid that their civilization is crumbling like a Roman Empire? If so, they can learn from history, instead of yelling and trying to rectify those who have different opinions from them. It is so much blah-blabing about freedom of speach and tollerance for different opinions, while in practice it is just reprogramming society so that HR (human resources - "What an oppressive name!? Like for pigfarm tenants! Must be American founded term.", to quote some opinions) can be ready for closer to optimal exchange for money, of their most valuable yet non-renewable irreversible asset (time). What an irony - money, which is based on fiduciary fundaments (people believe that printed scrap of paper bears some value), for life time. Fiduciary money - in societies where the lack of faith and honesty is so prevalent, the system must crumble down.
Meanwhile people will be entartained by tertiary problems as the basic problems need hard work instead of secular preaching. There was a horse in the Roman Senate introduced there by bloodthirsty lover of animals (mentally ill tyrann). The irony is that these self-proclaimed organizations for everyone's goods (except human tax-payers) will one day introduce to US Senate a horse or a dog, under the excuse of misrepresentation of society and a mankind guilt of the animal kingdom genocide. A healthy man can be viewed as mentally ill in the soul asylum. Period.
oh yeah - US assumes everyone shares their exact racism :D
But on the other hand the person who pitched the add probably did and since its not as common knowledge there not enough people noticed before it was too late. Its also racist in the US for to assume black people like grape soda and/or watermelon... even though both those things are absolutely delicious and you should assume everyone likes them at all times.
I always way confused by this.... It's like, we call all black people African Americans....but not all black people are African nor American
"Down in the comments section, which I'm sure is gonna be a lovely place for this particular video..." 😂😂😂😂
A completely random video, and yet I still manage to find Estonia in it. Nice.

Unsubscribe you idiot
I didn't mind the video, I found it okay.
* ducks *
The Aussie one is not racist at all. Here in Australia, KFC is just fine for everyone! And the Aborigines enjoy it just as much as us whities and there is no negative connotations associated with it at all. Why would a group of people enjoying fried chicken at a cricket match in Australia be considered racist just because someone in the United States who happened to see the ad' might interpret it differently. That's insane.
It was only seen as racist in America because of our cultural history, not by intention. Like in the way offense can be taken but cannot be given.
That being said, your comment makes you seem like a racist through American eyes by the way you say "even the aboriginese... Blah blah blah..."
It is one culture's problems creating an intention of other culture's ignorance to world views basically.
Yes Americans do look at it through the tint of our own history. Bit it doesn't help that there are only dark faces and one white guy. Maybe if we had seen other people represented in the group of chicken eaters, we wouldn't respond this way. Not saying the video is wrong, just making a statement about our perceptions. Thoigh I'm sure most people view the world through the tint of their experiences, not just us.
I got called racist cuz I said to a friend that I have a hard time reading the lips of a girl that just happens to be black. What I meant is that she doesn't enunciate her words when she talks, so I had a hard time understanding her.
@2:35 The main issue with shoes like these is how people walk/jog/run. 99.99% of folk walk *_heel to toe_* and this causes a *lot* of issues. When your heel hits the ground your entire body weight is going through those joints simultaneously hence the oversized heel cushion, but there is an answer. Walking/jogging/running *_ball to heel_* has a profound effect on the stresses placed on your joints... not only does it allow you to easily change where your foot will land (something *heel/toe* does not allow), it greatly lowers the pressures on your joints as it slows down the transfer of weight, thus saving them from later in life permanent joint injury. It takes some practice to master but the rewards are *HUGE:* increased calf strength, better posture, the ability to change where your foot lands as previously mentioned and long term reduction on stresses and injuries to your leg joints.
The interesting thing is (well, two interesting bits) that it was only in the last couple few hundred years that we changed from *ball/heel* to *heel/toe* because of a massive change in footwear design. The other bit of note is that children naturally start out with *ball/heel* run... it's something they lose as they get older as shoes are designed for *heel/toe* with large cushiony heels. Having shoes with a flatter sole makes *ball/heel* much easier. Many peoples from around the world run in the *ball/heel* style and it's only relevance is that it's not a bunch of *_"weirdo"_* crunchy hippies doing it.
Try it out for yourself... it feels awkward at first but soon becomes your default mode and you'll be all he better for it. The way it works is as follows:
You point your right foot down towards the ground before you make contact with the ball of your foot. With your left foot standing flat against the ground you can change where your right foot will be placed, regardless of if you've started to place it down in one spot... once the spot is chosen you lower your heel until your right foot is flat on the ground. You then do the same process with your left foot and the series repeats ad infinitum (or at least until you've sat down).
This change in style will greatly improve your life, I'm not kidding, I suffered a massive back injury and the amazing physical therapist I had who taught me this method is forever my hero since all this stress on my joints being gone has greatly reduced my pain level.
There's a great video on the history and method of *ball walking* at the following link: ruclips.net/video/EszwYNvvCjQ/видео.html
Pretty irrelevant comment considering the focus of this video, but I really believe that *ball walking* can help a *_LOT_* of people and want to share it wherever possible as it can change people's lives for the better.
orion khan Wow among a comments section full of division and people saying racist and insulting things to and about each other, you leave a comment with a desire to improve everyone's life even if it's somethball ting small like walking style. Honestly this is one of the best comments I've read in awhile. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity and also thanks for the informative advice. I've been walking ball/heel all day today and it actually does take a lot of pressure off the joints and back lol.
I love it when I find a random very passionate comment, so authentic and natural. Most people don't want to be bothered I guess...
What's odd about this is I now discover I've had it backwards. I've never found using my heels first or at that kind of angle to be comfortable, and when running am on the ball of the foot. I've tried to run heel-toe many times in the past and it's almost impossible. The biggest problem is you push off with the toe+ball of the foot, so where do you change to the heel? Most of the time my heel never touches the ground. A lot of fairly athletic and exercise oriented people have said I run weird. Human beings are strange from being so adaptable.
Totes OT, but dude -- FINALLY!
Heel/ball walking feels unnatural because it IS!
Wait there are testicleless on my feet? (i have no idea what you meant by "ball to heel" on your comment)
Definitely going to try this out. I need the foot relief, that's for sure.
I just realized, I have no clue whatsoever how liking fried chicken came to become a negative stereotype of blacks. I mean, if it was some kind of food which most people didn't like, I could understand it. I could see 'Vegimite-eater' becoming a racist attack on Australians. But fried chicken is really, really weird. Not only does everybody love it, but before the advent of a bunch of food freezing technology, chicken was damn near a luxury food! It was expensive, and not terribly common. Goose was far more common (until all the goose farms in New England got wiped out by a disease that got away from the researchers at the Plum Island animal disease research facility). I'm not aware of any kind of negative view of chicken when the stereotype was originally created... and fried foods weren't seen as unhealthy until the 1980s... so I just don't get it. It would be like steak becoming a negative stereotype of white people. Most people like it, it's a fairly expensive food, etc. Just doesn't seem to make sense.
+Sandy Nichelle his point is they are not selling scraps. you say "we" like just yesterday your family was given gizzards by your master.
racism isn't going away. our culture seems to think wee can solve this without addressing the problem.
be pro-life cutoff friends who aren't. if a baby has no value you can not attribute any to yourself.
people get there value from another source other than the culture they are in. point people to the source, claim the source, accept no other form of value except that from the source.them your conversation will change and the discussion will go in the right direction.
Sandy Nichelle I totally understand what you're saying, and unfortunately for history, you are correct. However let me let you in on something my grandmother that was of Native American descent 100% Mixtec (Mayan/Aztec), well she was an orphan in southern Mexico, just a few miles north of Guatemala, the coast of Oaxaca to be precise, ( were there a lot of Afro Mexicans by the way), and she said that the wealthy people that she worked for would let her and the other servants only have the inyards/chitlins and when she was a child they told her to have a wing to fly far away, so she could fly away far far, far away. I found that story sad :'(
+Sandy Nichelle exactly, and this stereotype is an insensitive and dehumanizing mockery of this
+Dustin Rodriguez man everybody likes fried chicken! not just black people!
ima domesticterrorist I know! That's why I find it so mysterious how it could become related to one particular race, let alone in a negative way!
came from the cracked website! Uber fan for soooo long how did I not know they had a RUclips?
Cracked was the first people to get me listening to podcasts years ago too!
I grew up watching the Ki-Ora advert in the UK as a kid. And you know what I thought the characters in the advert were? Crows. Birds. Not humans. The idea that they were supposed to be black people never once entered my mind. I didn't consider the advert racist then and I still don't see it as racist now.
ok the thing about the kfc advert: in New Zealand and Australia - kfc is one of the most popular fast foods for some reason. That, mc donalds and pizza hut.
So that ad isn't saying ; 'dark skinned people like fried chicken' it's saying, 'everyone likes fried chicken, even if you're around total strangers or people supporting a different sports team to you, they will eat kfc with you.' It's not about their skin colour.
In this case, the Australian guy (who supports Australia's cricket team that's obvious by his clothes) was sitting in the middle of a bunch of people who were supporters of another country's team (possibly West Indies?) (again obvious by what they are WEARING and how they are acting). I think Americans don't understand our cultures very well if they think it's about black people and white people.
I know that the people around him are black but actually a lot of immigrants from other countries are not white (obviously)...and if they are from the West Indies then yeah, they will of course be black. It's not the same as an American advert at all.
Bekah Sp ...
I'm glad someone pointed this out.
With most people that would be one thing. However this is an advertisement agency: it's literally part of their job to know better (most big ad company creative departments are communication majors). Making an ad like this is poor taste, even with the best of intent and could have been done better. OP made that point when he suggested german fans instead, or anything of that nature
Lol...ok literally every country in the West Indies and every country in the western developed world KNOWS why this is racist except Australia. Thats probably why it was marketed there then. Not because it wasn’t racist but because Australia couldn’t tell it was racist. An American is saying how multiple people around the world found this racist. It’s just too easy to defend how others may find this racist...too easy! Oh yeah😑...all people from the West Indies aren’t black...obviously!
I love all the super defensive comments ha
There's an ad where pandas yell at each other in Chinese accents, there's an ad that has 6 black people bowing towards a white man! What's not racist about them?
Also, I've noticed none of the comments refer to the creepy sexual ads at the beginning.....you can spot inappropriate sexualization as being bad but stereotyping black people is no big deal.
Another thing: there's nothing "preachy" about pointing out the out-dated views of the 1970's....ironically it's "telling it like it is" that crap was wrong and stupid then and it's wrong and stupid now.
:)
Real Fact : Many Germans seem not to know about the blackface taboo. See also the case of the German lady who went to an american animation convention wearing makeup to match her cosplay character. In this case, Garnet from Steven Universe. Has no idea why people were staring, insulting, and throwing food at her.
Loves baby soft was my first perfume I ever got when I was 11!! XD
You don't need to look for other offensive ads. Half the comments here are offensive enough. Fuck them, this is great stuff as usual, Cracked.
You seem like the kind if guy who screams out racism at every little moment in your day. White guy says good morning? He Must be racist. Black guy trips on the sidewalk? Must be those damn white racists at it again.
Um, that's just Cracked title syndrome. The _actual_ topic of this video is "offensive ads", not "sexist/racist ads". Nobody's claiming that ableism is a form of racism.
Yep. What's wrong with white males? They are so damned oversensitive. Whiny bums.
i call them PWCs. poor white crybabies. They will become real men once they get laid, dont worry
+Jobot 323 +marie watson young white american males are oversensitive pwcs - poor white crybabies. dont you morons have mothers and sisters that you love?? its obvious you dont have girlfriends tho, because you get triggered by words like "battered women's shelter" or "under-reported rapes". Their sisters probably hate them, they have no girlfriends, and mom is just that robot that brings meals to the basement.
The Australian add for KFC is of an Australia cricket supporter sitting in a group of West Indian cricket supporters. KFC was the sponsor of the West Indian Cricket Team when it toured Australia. Ironically, someone who fails to take into account the context of something and simply points and shouts "racism" when less divisive interpretations exist maybe the most racist person of all. Hence number one on the list of racist adds that is shockingly recent is: well, this video.
Thank you! I couldn't have said it better
exactly. and we dont have that fried chicken black people stereotype here so it means nothing racist here
+danzigvssartre If the Aussie guy in the ad wanted to be racist, he would've offered them a bucket of JERK chicken instead.
*west indies*
Not *West Indian* 😅
Thank you for actually explaining the context behind the Australian ad instead of just saying you didn’t know fried chicken was racist.
Bob and Tony really got me. I am still laughing. So stupidly wrong...
I was a kid in the 70's and even I thought there was something fucked up about Love's Baby Soft commercials.
I really should stop expecting youtube comments to not be a festering shitpile.
There's nothing racist or sexist in this video. THE COMMENT SECTION HAS SPOKEN!
That first ad made me so uncomfortable.
That Kia-Ora advert was fantastic! Absolute classic!
"Too easy" is a saying here in Australia. It pretty much means the same as "no worries" and they are both just an expression that don't use the words literally. It doesn't have anything to do with how easy something is. Person A: I am going to the shops, back in 20 minutes. Person B: Too easy. This is normal. Similarly when Australians say "no worries" we aren't saying that we are not worried. It's closest translation is probably I acknowledge what you said or that something positive occurred, but with all of our sayings you can pretty much just use them in any way completely for no reason and the other person is just expected to know what it means. It's probably a bit unusual for other cultures to understand.. but I am sure you get the "tangerine chicken" of what I am saying (see I used a random phrase that means nothing instead of the word "point" and Australian's would have understood without this note).
Disclaimer: Not stating if the KFC ad was racist or not, but people seem a bit hung up on why "too easy" was said not understanding what it means in Australia.
It's not. There's no tradition of depicting West Indian people in Australia as eating fried chicken.
So while it may have been racist in the US, it wasn't in Australia.
If they are going to say that KFC in Australia should have done their homework, then the same applies to them.
I should get a medal for finishing this video. that was insanely boring.
+SuperFreeEducation Wait your turn, I am getting my medal for reading your comment.
oh! sick burn.
Oh no worries, your medal is much bigger and shinier.
How is calling Asian people racist? Or can you really explain?
Commenting in 2021 - this past week we were "treated" to a man who identified as a woman exposing himself in the women's locker room at a CA spa, and the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus singing "We're Coming After Your Children". And someone is offended by THIS?
People in comments: Ugh, my god Cracked why are you so PC ugh, why can't we go back to the good old days when you could be racist and sexist and not get called out for it. ugh so lame
👏👏👏so true
this. there is literally nothing in this video that isn't ACTUALLY hilariously sexist or racist
"The only people who are ever surprised to learn that white americans are racist, are white americans."
Exhibit #1 : The comments section.
+yaahyak No, they are surprised because the argument is a straw man... "You are a terrible racist based on NO objective facts, at all. SURPRISE!"
The only people who are surprised to learn that SJWs are racist, are SJWs.
Exhibit #1: The comments section
Max Pelot no one called you a racist... but a guilty concious needs no accuser. Racists know who they are.. and people who arent racists like the video because they know deep down it isnt them.
I am surprised to see that people miss the obviously racist comments made towards white people on a daily basis. to generalize saying you're surprised white Americans are racist in itself is racist if you flip it and say why are people surprised Black Americans are criminals. neither is true for all blacks or all whites and are racist statements but somehow logic is lost.
So, people who aren't racist should approve of a racist video because they know that they are not racist? Well, that explains *everything* about SJWs
Lmao, I remember that statue cleaning report. That's Australian news for you, everybody.
Gee I cant imagine how this company, web page, channel flushed itself down the crapper
Oi Cracked, your late. April Fools Day was on the first of April guys.
give it a fucking break cracked
Why?
ermahgad, essjaydoublewws and their trouble making! 😂
I like to fart in jam jars.
You have white privilege.
+shsl britney yeah I own a jam jar. wanna sniff?
Editor in chief? How man? You launched Cracked?
I do feel that “making shoes for people who have feet” is actually a pretty good business plan.
How to make a racist ad in 2016:
1. Have a black guy in it
2. ???
= Racist ad
+Emmitt Nervend
Or not having a black guy in it is also racist. Somehow.
+Free lix (Freelix2000) It's racist cause racism race racists for racism
Francis Starrk
Its racist because the guy who made it is racist, and the reason he's racist is because he says he's not racist but everything he says is wrong because he's racist.
lmao fr
+Arogon Right, because there weren't black people who were upset about that commercial.
I don't think you know what racism is.
The 70s are recent thanks for not click baiting me
This is like buzzfeed but down to earth
WUBALUBADUBDUB!!
+Mistress Cheng Allllright! caaaan doooo!!!!!!
Beautiful.
You are awesome
Help me I'm in great pain
As Gandalf once said,
"So it begins, the greatest sh!tstorm of our time..."
Distracting Germans with chicken? What do you take us for?
At least use a nice Bratwurst with potatoes!
That Kia-Ora advert brings back some fond memories from my childhood.
