@Houstain No, because your 'explanation' is very ignorant. The stereotype you're referring to is that 'African-Americans' love chicken, not every person with a dark complexion on earth. As these people are clearly not African American the stereotype doesn't apply. Very, very simple.

@Houstain Research their family trees did ya? doesnt matter anyway, it shows a diversity of west indian fans in west india (where the ad was both filmed and set and aired). Their race isnt important to the commercial, what is important is they are celebrating, and the Aussie is not, then he shares around some KFC and they are all friends. Its dumb, but makes far more sense than to make a subtly racist commercial to insult a team they sponsor using a stereotype that doesn't apply doesn't it?

Until I watched this, I didn't even know that they don't even have chips at the American KFC.

But to be fair, I never saw any chips when there was KFC in American TV shows like the Simpsons and South Park; and also, when I was on holiday in Thailand, I noticed that the menus at fast food joints were quite different from those here in Australia; so I guess I should've known.

@Houstain Hi, fyi, I'm Australian and "black people like chicken" is an American thing. That at the time of this add, was not a prevalent sterotype in Australia. It is subtly being introduced into Australia through American television, mainly comedies.

Dear lord, all the comments are Houstain vs y9dnkbe. It's a title match for a big payoff: the youtube debate crown. The payoff is worth absolutely nothing.

@y9dnkbe holy fucking shit houstain. keep your unwanted intel to yourself. a joke is a joke for those who get it. if you dont get it, dont give birth to a fucking cow and rape everybody with your mind.

[MrAfroMonkee]

Just a joke, chill out guys

@Houstain you are a moron!!!! how does the term african AMERICAN include black people in general? the fact that it has 'american' in the title should be enough. you are clearly just one of those people that looks for the racist undertones that may not necessarily be there. it was not intended to be racist. australia was versing the west indies in a cricket series at the time this ad was shown. australia does NOT share the whole 'black people love chicken' shit

[Fongfongmc]

australia does not share the whole 'black people love chicken' thing with america. australia is a completely different fucking country after all. just showing your ignorance. you may also be referring to 'african americans'. west indians are not african americans. your ignorance is astounding. stick to what you know. which evidently is not much

[irishgodfatherchris]

@Houstain so your telling us that we can't show the West Indian fans for what they are (festive and always have been even when they lose) because it may upset Americans and in your case Canadians.
