It looks racist because racist people used to compare black people to apes, and still do. The fact that the ape looks like Mr T, coupled with the bling he's wearing, portrays a stereotypical ghetto black man,
But in any case, I doubt this ad had any intent on offending the black community. It seems to be poking fun at the idea of racism itself. It's like Chris Rock making jokes about black and white stereotypes - not meant to be taken seriously.
wow what a racist ass commercial....
