but as a european i say

australia 100 - 0 USA

[petetreehugger]

i think TYT are racists for saying becouse people have the same skin colour that means there from the same background, west indies are NOT african american!!!!!

If the ad isn't intentional in the message, it's really poor judgement on their part because on the internet these things spread. If it was intentional then that makes sense because the commercial got attention.

@Hem3fiction exactly if we were to call a person a monkey it would be because they are acting like an idiot, wouldn't have anything to do with race we'd use it for white, black, asian... alike. Another time we might use the word monkey would be for kids or like to climb.

@InMyNightSky the ad is not racist. End of story.

[Hem3fiction]

@InMyNightSky If you think people wearing collared shirts enjoying the game and having fun is uncivilised... you have need to sort out some control issues. You don't just assume that we just simply accept blackface, I wouldn't go as far a to call it racist but it was politically incorrect because i don't think a race was portrayed better than another but i see why people got furious about it. But this commercial has taken the topic too far. No one in Australia ever uses monkey as a racial slang.

@Hem3fiction I have a clue. The ad is racist. End of story.

[Hem3fiction]

@InMyNightSky you just have no clue do you?

[ninjachick81]

@InMyNightSky Australians didn't hide it... It wasn't shown overseas because its not relevant - you have a different menu/specials and you dont even have cricket, why would they promote a cricket series in australia in the US (STUPID ARGUMENT THAT WE WERE HIDING IT). FFS get a brain. How many times do you have to be told they are not acting wild. Nobody in Australia sees them as wild (or even black but rather West Indian).

[ninjachick81]

@InMyNightSky I never saw them as uncivilized the TYT people are saying that, not Aussies. I've never heard anyone called blacks monkeys on TV and FYI the guys who did the blackface thing are actually Indian not white (and we did think that was racist - hey hey is a lame old show that failed at a comeback attempt).

[ninjachick81]

@InMyNightSky People stand up here when there is real racism. This is not.

@986401 The argument is not so much it should be banned in total but it should be banned where your not allowed to conceal your identity... You cant wear a helmet or balaclava in a Bank, Petrol Station, Air Port, you can be asked to remove it in shopping centers, its no different. Nobody has any complaints about the ones that just cover the hair/head... its only the face which conceals identity.
