While I don’t think that this Intel Ad was intentionally racist I do understand why it could be bothersome to most people.
I recognize the sprinter from other ads, but did they have to make them exactly alike? Perhaps a mix or ethnicities and genders wouldn’t make them look like robots, or slaves.
Of course they came out with their apologetic statement and pulled the ad. But apologizing for what exactly? Being insensitive? Does the PR department have to apologize whenever someone makes a stink? I know there are people out there that don’t agree that this ad looks rasict, so, what about their opinion?
It doesn’t count because the squeaky wheel gets the oil.
