this commercial fails. even when it is not intended - some will really have racist associations and thats not what advertising is about.

I dunno there is a white man in the centre and they all seem to be bowing down to him.....
Or there's some nerdy looking geek in the center... Surrounded by powerfull athletes, in the blocks, ready to wipe the floor with his ass...Balok77 wrote:

It's all about interpretation... if you're racist, you'll see racist connotations... if not, you won't...
yeah, this is played out. You should quote a source instead of playing it like you thought of it when you didn't.
Wow I don't really know what to say here. It's all about associations, and what you associate to mean what. I see it and I think it is raciest, and I think that the raciest content is almost unavoidable. I guess I can't call you a raciest for not seeing it, just ignorant. Then again advertisement is also about the audience you a advertising to. For most major countries, (that's who I imagine this ad is for) it is insinuating that black people are the employs and white people are the employers. How come all the employs are black? How come they are all runners. What is performance only encompassed by a black runner? How come there aren't any white runners, or would that be raciest?
Does anybody see what I mean?
It is virtually impossible to have to different classes of people (by that I mean one holding a position higher then another), and attempt to advertise that without coming across as a raciest, unless you diversify the people involved. I cant believe advertisement agencies haven't picked up on this yet. Well I guess they get paid anyway and in the long run it is better for them to produce an ad that gets rejected then they get paid to make another one. Pretty weak if you ask me and am thoroughly unimpressed with Intel. Kinda on topic thought did anyone see the Dutch ad that Sony did for white PSP. It was a white chick beating up a black chick, in an attempt to show that white PSP was better. I mean wow have we learnt nothing over the last 25-30 years or are Nazi's taking over advertisement agencies?
For KEN-JENNINGS:
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Martin Luther King, Jr
This is a very very very wise quote and I don't think even the most humble of men could attest to being completely just in all causes and on all fronts. However, I hope that every man tries to achieve justice in some way shape or form.
Though I would agree with you scorpion, there is multiple opportunities for the advertisers to allow diversities and destroy stereo types, however they do not and that makes your argument void in my opinion.

We, as a species, will only be free of racism, when nobody anywhere thinks twice about this Intel ad, or the white PSP one.
They are not, in and of themselves, racist.

What if it was a bunch of white guys bowing to a black guy? I guarantee that would not even cross anyones mind as being racist.
I hear that Asians are good at math...

LOL. We, as a species, cannot be free of racism as long as differences exist between races. As for you BS about "you only see racism if you are a racist" let me spin that another way for you: a true racist will NOT see racism in this ad because to him there is nothing wrong with black folk bowing down to a white man. See what I did there? Generated some bullshit, just like you.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Interpretation is not predication.

Well, I'd reword that as "What if it was a bunch of white runners in the blocks and the other guy was black?"
But the point remains the same - everyone is screaming "RACISM" because they are black, not because of what the advert actually shows, and that, in and of itself, is inverted racism.
That would be useless as an ad because white guys aren't fast so they couildn't help a business improve.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
