    Default Is this racist?

    Really? It shows black and white. Some people just take things overboard.

    People trying to make racism where it's not needed. Why is he only promoting the black girl on there and not the fact that there is a white person on there as well? And you can't really judge anything by videos like that. I think that for every person on camera saying "it's racist," there is another that he didn't include that didn't find it racist at all. He only shows the people that "prove his point." Later, QD.

    I agree. As much as I defend stuff of this nature, it is not racism. It's actually stupidity, because the depiction is not a postive image from history, so I don't see it selling. I really don't see the point in them putting a black girl on one side and white boy on the other. Marketing was not well thought out IMO

    Playing devils advocate, the white kid on the back could be placed there to justify the product. If in fact it was racially marketed, the black stores would have the black girl front faced, and the white areas would have the white boy front faced. Then the consumer gets home after the purchase and goes GTFO! LMAO, stupid people I tell you.

    I think this would be a far-fetched way to show racism, lolol.

    This just goes to show that some people are out to look for "it."

    Oh well. I'm actually going to go up to Target in a minute and see if I can get a can of this. Later, QD.

    I'm 99.967% sure of it being a fact, man. Coca Cola has had a Santa Claus in their Christmas ads for years and they've never been accused of being racist for not putting a black Santa on their bottles. I think you're reaching and I would be surprised if someone were to make a racial issue out of your scenario. Later, QD.

    WOW, if everyone on here says it's not racist. I wonder how many people they interviewed said it wasn't racist?
