I don't see what is stereotypical. At worst, they're playing off the main advertiser's skin off the hue of the alcohol.

It's not saying that the white man is any better than the black man, or vice versa.

So, it's not racist.
and I don't think it's racist either.  but they are using a bullshit stereotype.

and it isn't true, see:

Not really racist...I don't mind anything that makes light hearted reference to stereotypes. Like the South Park episode where Token, the black kid, can automatically play bass because he is black or the Family Guy episode where Peter travels to Ireland...it's just a bit of fun.

You're pushing to think the red stripe ad was racist.  Maybe its an indication of peoples desperation?

You know that If slavery had never been abolished in the US that this would be a common scene found in most businesses and some houses.
The white guy almost looks like a modern pharaoh.

As far as the Red Strip commercial is concerned, I think it makes fun of both whites and blacks. But I really think that it makes fun of white beer drinkers that secretly long for a Jamacian reggae "down low" encounter. OMG I just realized that its a homophobic commercial.

I seriously don't see how that's racist. "WTF, BLACKS DEPICTED AS ALL BEING FAST RUNNERS?!?! RACISM." Unless of course some idiot thinks it symbolizes the black guys being the white dude's slaves.

And no that commercial is not racist. I guess I can see how some pussies would find it racist, but please... compared to this?:



edit: Is it the whole reggae thing? Yeah, nevermind that reggae originates from Jamaica which JUST SO HAPPENS TO HAVE LOTS OF BLACK PEOPLE LIVING THERE.

It becomes racism when it's directed in a hurtful way. Any other way and it's a joke or a misinterpretation. Personally, I don't get the Intel one. I can see why people would think it racist, but it's a stupid ad to make. Not even really amusing or anything. I liked the Red Stripe one, though.

It was a black scientist called Yakub, that created the white race 6,000 years ago. Yakub created white people by a process of grafting the "black germ" to a "white germ" from the original black population of the world. It took 600 years for Yakub and his successors to fully whiten his creations. This was achieved under a despotic regime on the island of Patmos.

That's ridiculous. And the color of people's skin aren't actually black white red or yellow, its all just variations on the color brown.

the ad above would not be considered racist IMO if they used a multitude of races as the sprinters (eg, an asian guy, black guy, dude from russia, etc).  it's the fact that they were all black and seemingly bowing to a white manager.  it's also a poor ad from the stance that the real message (speed) is hidden.  the sprinters are in cubes.  duh.  it should have been at a track.  take race out of the picture and it's still a crap ad.  some heads rolled due to this i'm sure.

as far as the red stripe ad, i personally felt it was funny.  i'm white and am dance-challenged myself.  i suffer from white-man's overbite when i attempt to groove.  it's a genetic thing for me.  anyway, i can laugh it off because i don't consider this a real disparaging thing to be able NOT to dance.  big deal.  if anything, i'd like to be in that bar listening to the music - sounds like a cool place.

Yeah, I love Red Stripe commercials. I guess it could be perceived as racist, you'd have to be pretty sensitive though... The other ones in the thread are definitely more blatant.

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know what slavery in this country was like or what the 100 years of discrimination and segregation afterwards was like? Those are the reasons most blacks in this country are in the postion they are in today. But I think blacks today arent doing enough to dig themselves out of the hole, hence all the crime, bad education and gang subculture.

And I don't think indentured servitude was as bad as slavery.
