Aussie KFC Ad Deemed Racist By American Left

We're so full of political correctness and PC idiots in America, they're actually spilling over to other nations. It might be good if American liberals understood other cultures first. Duh!

The long march by some ignorant American’s who believe that there is no culture in this world other than their own continues with allegations that an Australian KFC is racist.

The ad shows an Australian fan offering KFC to a crowd of West Indies supporters at a cricket match. The fan states “Need a tip when you’re stuck in an awkward situation?” followed by the fan saying “too easy” as he passes around the chicken.

The ad, part of KFC’s “Cricket Survival Guide” promotional series, was played during the recent Australia vs West Indies test matches. The West Indies are currently touring Australia.

The politically correct oughta lively up themselves. See, they're applying black American standards of what not to do to other black people around the world. So, they're showing their racism cos every black person is the same in their mind. Geography don't mean nothin'. Chicken doesn't have that sort of entailment in the Caribbean or Africa. The ad is a good one with no sort of racial anything. African people know what insults Africans. West Indians know what insults West Indians. KFC doesn't. American liberals ought to stick to manipulating blacks and other Americans. Leave the rest of us alone!

When you're a multi-culturalist, you gloss over the fact that other cultures having their own "rules". It's the whole "rules" thing the leftists don't get. Different cultures have different rules. Leftists seek to erase the rules while maintaining their own rules. I don't think they realize how stupid they look when they do that.

Dimturds and the like realize how stupid they are they just don't care.

At least they arent calling the blacks in the video African-Americans. I have actually seen those terms used to describe black European and Australians before here in the states...

What I don't get is why it's supposed to be so bad to like eating fried chicken. It's yummy to everybody!

Hell, if the stereotype were that black people didn't like fried chicken, =that= would make them look bad. Not like fried chicken? What's wrong with them?

Now I'm hungry for some KFC. Dammit.

Right = Racist

Just admit it already, you'll feel much better. I do.

It's America after all and you should be able to say what you want to.

All my Caribbean cookbooks feature chicken dishes heavily. Their authors must all be racist.

I was on business in CA one day and had to hire 4 temp workers to help me out. I'm white (and from the south) and the gentlemen were of a somewhat darker complexion than myself. I paid for lunch and drove them out to a local strip to look for someplace to eat. As we drove down the line of resturants, without even thinking about it I asked "I haven't had chicken in a while. Do ya'll like fried chicken?". One of the guys said back "What do *you* think?" I turned to look at him and then realized what I'd said, and then we all broke up laughing. I told them "Hey, I've got a Japanese wife that doesn't like fish, so I'm not making any assumptions here!".
