Racist Intel Ad :pray sharpton doesn't see this

[Hurt911gen]

Core 2 Duo anyone?

Advertising: Intel Ad Might be Racist, but Boy Does It Make Me Want a Core 2 Duo - Gizmodo

 

[sundvlfn88]

That is just wrong.

 

[Maulds]

Just some strong guys holding the floor down.....whats wrong with that?

 

[Hurt911gen]

the satisfied smile on white guys' face is just icing on the cake

 

[Maulds]

So Intel turned his staff into muscular black guys with presumably large penises...whats racist there?

 

[Hurt911gen]

some people find it racist Intel under fire for 'racist' ad

 

[Maulds]

yeah all joking aside, some people walk thru life looking for things to be insulted by.

They aren't bowing to him...its like they're about to be "off to the races" because their performance is so exceptional

When is this over sensitivity to racism bullshit going to end? Black men already have a better chance at getting scholarships than white men for example. By enacting race equality, non-caucasions have the best chances at great jobs, raises and opportunities.

Give it a rest already. This is just an ad.

 

[Hurt911gen]

you can find it racist for many reasons...a bunch of black guys bowing down to a smirking white dude, for example. bad publicity or not, I'm puzzled over how this ad got through the whole marketing department.

I personally cant relate to the so-called "racism" in this ad, but I can see how some people can find it racist, and I wonder why Intel didnt realize this.

Maybe it was a white guy that let it slide through.

 

[Maulds]

Yeah me too, but only because we live in such a bullshit pc world now

First off, they're not bowing to the white guy. They're in the stance to begin running. Notice the tights and the fact that they're muscular as shit?

"Multiply Performance" one fast black runner on a team = good 6 fast black runners on a team = you're taking home the gold.

This ad is about computers, not black guys bowing to some out of shape IT guy who couldn't run a marathon if his life depended on it.

 

[Hurt911gen]

I can easily see that prick Sharpton ruining someone else's career over a (presumably) stupid mistake

 

[Maulds]

Reminds me of the guy in NY who lost his job after using the actual word "niggardly" which has nothing to do with race

 

[Hurt911gen]

if someone is offended by it, they get a shitload of publicity and money from it. that's Sharptons philosophy. I hope this ends up as bad publicity and not some bullshit race argument

 

[elluko]

The longer you stare at it, the more racist it seems...

 

[Maulds]

If thats your perception, I dont see it as racist at all because it wasnt intended to be.

 

[dt3]

I think it's funny
