This commercial was made by Korean phone company in Japan.
The aim of this commercial is to make Japanese look lower than dogs.
They also added Black coz they also look down on Black ppl as well.
and Japanese look at these commercial and think how cute, but they laugh at Japanese for thinking its cute. it's a racist commercial towards Japanese AND black ppl. but it's actually not made by Japanese.

True, Japanese racism doesnt translate into lynchings normally.

Does no one get the irony of labeling an entire group of people "racist" based on anecdote or individual examples? Does no one understand the difference between a teabagger T-shirt depicting Obama as a monkey, and a commercial depicting a monkey as a popular world leader?
Get back to me when a man is dragged to death behind a truck because of his race, in Japan. Or when a little girl is murdered because of her father's immigration status, in Japan. Then we'll talk about who's racist.

Of course the Japs are racist. The person who woke me up to the reality of race was a Jap. He outright told me "I hate blacks and mexicans".

Culture make a discrimination term. The reason why a "monkey" does not become a discrimination term in Japan is that there is not culture that compared a certain types of people to a monkey. It is stupid to criticize the use of the specific concept unless you know culture of another country. Don't push culture of your country to another country.

@hgsdesyg26 i second that and japanese do not know it's offensive to black people to be called a monkey, they just thought it was clever so something along those lines
japanese already know that lots of animals are used in japanese commercials, thats why no japanese thought this was inappropriate. Americans think too much

日本のCMは犬やら猫やらいろんな動物が出てくるから日本人はナチュラルに思ってたんだけど外国人は考え込みすぎ
