Are you fucking stupid or something? Ofcourse this advert is racist. Are all Indians this simple? It's a blatant racist caricature of what in their opinion a Japanese person it supposed to look like. It's like when Indians paint their faces black and pretend to be Black/Africans and think it is acceptable.

i am indian and i think you are 100% in the right! this ad is stupid and offensive.

@tyannkonabeumaizeAds like these r not common. Also, I dont feel there was anything racist about this ad. U can see the other coke ads with Aamir Khan. They just show how the people from different states of India are (language, accent, costume, body language). They r different in each state. If one represents (acts) a particular state of India or any country how does it become racist? He says he is an Indian, just that, he got stung by bees and not to try to cheat as he is not tourist!!

@tyannkonabeumaize No, this ad is one of its kind. And nobody liked it in India. And, I am Indian. いいえ、この広告は、その種の一つです。そして、誰もインドのそ­­れが好き。

なんで日本人への差別は毎回これなんだろう。他の方法もあるだろ­うに。

@ThreeLions89 @ThreeLions89 sporco cane svizzero...ancora insozzi il tubo con la tua presenza??? Hai imparato almeno ad utilizzare il bidet merdaccia?? Hai capito come funzionano le leggi CRIMINALI E MAFIOSE che fanno della Svizzera UN PARADISO FISCALE?? Sporco mangia patate, voi non siete europa, siete MERDA.

@faboloushees who gives a shit about how you consider indians? Look at Indians in the US to understand something: Indians have the highest level of education and highest earnings among all other races so we don`t actually need whites/blacks/etc.. to tell us what to do and how to do it.

[ThreeLions89]

I`m Swiss with indian forefathers and I have to say that I fully disapprove this commercial. Yes there are many Indians who are racists and yes racist episodes against blacks and East Asians happen a little too frequently and are mostly not understandable.

But most indians look at Japan and its people as friends and commercial partners and so do I.

Let`s improve together on those strong principles such as discipline and education that we all share.
