Racist Advertising Olympics

Well well, there is certainly a wealth of racist advertising out there. Some are deliberately funny, some are not. Racism has been around for as long as different races have come together - it has always been there. I am not condoning it because of the longevity of it's existance, I am just making a point. This racism was and,s till is found in everyday life, in the words we say, the TV we watch and the adverts we see. Some have been banned, and some haven't. Here I look at a slice of racist advertising from across the world. Each post I make will be from a country or region and makes it easier to compare.

Some of these adverts are a jo to watch because some are so obviously so ignorant, however they all carry a message reminding us of our pasts and the underlying racial disciminations now - Bollocks - a word that echo's both cyber and real world about 'racist' advertising and the media, ousting some as just bad Political Correctness. You decide.



Anyway, I would really love it if you could add links here to other adverts that are now racist and classed as inappropriate and let me know if you think some aren't, and if some are that are yet to be banned

So, here is a taster:



From the UK - kick racism out of football


From Korea - KFC


From Australia - Australian Beer


From the US of A - South Oak Dodge cars


From the US of A - Confederate Family


From the US of A - American Cars
















From the US of A - Watermelons
