They could have done the exact same ad but with the poms. But alas, we weren't fucking playing the poms.

I rather liked that. They've got it right, England is shit. Sort your spiders out and I'll be over on the next flight.

They got healthbars yo, so just beat them with a stick like in an mmo.

African American is a raciest term. Not all Black People Came from Africa.

I know lots of black people and it's probably only a real small portion who care, so why do we? Cause those who complain have a bigger voice then those who don't.

Not all blacks are American too. That is the shittiest assumption as well.

find a picture of a black guy from a different country, show it to an American and ask them what race the person is

edit: fuck sakes, i hit the wrong button. post continued below

the majority of the time they'll spout off the same shit "he's African American!"

people are fucking stupid

Territory of the US.  I've been to Pago Pago.

They aren't fully integrated though. Same with the US Virgin Islands.

And not all Americans are black, thats going to take another 50-100 years.

Well, in 50 to 100 years, we'll probably be equal proportions Latino, Black, and Asian (primarily Indian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern).

I highly recommend perusing the nearly 7,000 comments (as of the time of this post, anyway) on YouTube.

Those knuckleheads get lit up.

TYT is retarded. Seriously. Without knowing any of the context etc jumping to the conclusion of racism is stupid. The fact that this stereotype was the first thing they thought of says more about them than the ad.


(Also, lol at them calling them "African Americans")

It's because that's more of a race than "black", which isn't as PC as Af-Am is. People don't want to say "black" because they're afraid that's an offensive term.


My take: How in the chocolate christ is this racist? Everyone else is having a good time, and in the short duration of the commercial, it just looks like whitey is sharing some chicken with everyone. I didn't even get what he meant by it being an awkward situation at first; just seemed to me he wasn't as into it as everyone else. The people in the OP vid are just out of their minds looking for something to be misconstrued as racist, too. Rowdy? Hardly. It's not a fucking soccer game, that's fucking rowdy.

Stuck alone in crowd of opposition supporters = awkward situation IMO

Especially for a die-hard supporter which he clearly is meant to represent

No but another fuckin CONTINENT does! LOL @ United States insularity.

LOL at the fact that young Euros dont realize how young the EU is to think that a continent has always been equated to a cultural identity

young europeans? wut??

EU's been around since 93. EU is not the same as the continent of Europe. so what's yer point? The continent of North America includes Canada and the USA and some central american countries as far as I know so it's not the same is it?
