I think this illustrates why Stewie Griffin in Family Guy when seeing that the family that adoptted him had adopted kids of different ethnic groups from around the world reacted by saying "My god, I've been adopted by a Benetton ad".

@dcagn001 I can understand how that ad was offensive & in bad taste. But that was one in so many hundreds where ethnic people were presented with taste in themes of cross-culteralism. Yes, they did dress people in their native costumes (some would call that racists) but they also switched that up frequently so that caucasians wore african native costumes, africans wearing chinese, etc. Also, Bennetton IS a clothing brand... they ARE kinda known for doing racey-controversial ads for publicity..

@Shverina Do they embrace diversity because they style the lil black babies hair in the shape of devil horns rather than dred locks, a fade, corn rows, etc...???? Or is it because they still style the lil white baby as an angel??

Anyone else look this up cuz of Family Guy?
-
so where's stewie?
-
@fawdown the fact that he's a white kid painted to look like an Aborigine? or the fact that he's a flamer?
-
@oldstock1607 Is that such a big deal?
-
@fawdown Oh, totally. F-L-A-M-E-R.
For all you people who view 80s Benetton ads as racist... you need to do your research before you spew your ignorance. If you did, you'd note that almost all adverts were white and blond. Not hating just saying. Apart from Naomi the token ethnic super model, there were NO ethnic faces anywhere. Growing up as an Asian-American teenager in the 80s.... Bennetton's message was EMBRACE DIVERSITY. That all colors and styles can be worn by all people. I WISH some companies would take up that tourch!

@Shverina You are right. People are way too cranky and uptight these days. It seems as if people have to knock everything. Thanks :)
