Society Should Reject Racist Advertisements
During super bowl XLII Salesgenie ran two arguably racist ads, the first ad concerned a financially desperate widget salesman of South Asian ancestry, who spoke broken English and had seven children. The second ads was more vociferously protested, the second ad was about a cartoon of a Chinese panda. The said panda was also suffering from the misfortunes of an unsuccessful business. These ad were made in such away that most hackneyed and insulting stereotypes of Asians, and outraged viewers of Chinese origin. These ads are an example of crude racial stereotypes.
