What’s more, racist ads still appear today, with companies such as Intel, PopChips, Sony and Burger King all having been accused of promoting their products in racially insensitive ways.
Although most of these unacceptable modern-day ads are retracted after inciting a hue and cry, the vintage ads featured here were quite unapologetic about the views they presented. And while they might hail from a different era, they’re still rather too close for comfort. Take a look.

WHY DON'T YOU STUPID PEOPLE FIND SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO MOAN, CRY AND TEAR YOUR HAIR OUT ABOUT? YOU SEE RASCISM IN EVERYTHING. RASCISM IS A MADE-UP WORD [TROTSKY, 1927], WHICH YOU NARROW-MINDED PEOPLE USE TO STOP ARGUMENTS YOU CANNOT WIN. STOP IT!! THESE ADVERTS SHOW LIFE AT THE TIME, THEY ARE TRUTHFUL [UNLIKE MANY OF TODAY'S] AND THEY ARE BLOODY HILARIOUS!! SO SHUT UP AND LET US NORMAL, RIGHT-MINDED PEOPLE ENJOY LIFE AND STOP MAKING LAUGHTER ILLEGAL. TWATS!!
ReplyDeleteGood point!
ReplyDeleteBoth of you people are ignorant. From your comments, I can tell you both are white males or females WHO have never had to experience racism. You think it's so hilarious, put it like this... How would you feel if someone bought one of your kids and beat them blue, took away their rights as Americans, and judged them because they were too light" for America's liking? Bet it wouldn't be funny then.
