This Chinese laundry detergent commercial is jaw-droppingly racist

You do realize a competitor brand is going to toss that Chinese guy into the machine and guess who comes out...

Maybe you?

Racism rears its ugly head in China. Strict anti racism laws should be put in place and those morons should be harshly punished.

probably some white American gave the Chinese the idea to make this racist ad. POC can't be racist

which is what happened. Chinese are only guilty of copying.

It's named after a Hawaiian chief.

Did you really just scour the Internet for references...and you settled for a map of some road in Hawaii?

Just big anti Chinese hype train by Western hypocrite state controlled "free press".

There are many films and clips making racist jokes about East Asians even in recent times. Little or no news for them. When blacks make fun about East Asians most don't even see any issue and laugh about the 'joke' victim and get angered if you don't laugh along. The at least as "racist" Italian ad didn't even get a fraction of pretend shock act as the Chinese one in Western media. Japan and India do this like once a month and no one even talks about it.

They just love to rip this appart because its Chinese, not because its racist.

Its all a farce anyways. In reality most blacks and brown people prefer "whiter" people as well and beauty ideals all point to "whiter" people, not to mix up with the equally big craze for a "healthy" and modern "bourgeoisie" tan by lighter skinned people.

I personally feel that you get more bang for you buck by using powder

I reckon they are all cheap stuff, so I will vote for convenience and functionality first.
The thing is there are too many such products with self-claimed fancy functions, I am getting quite confused.
What is washing-free liquid for hand wash?

 

[xunzi]

That shit is hilarious? What is it? are we not suppose to like ourselves? LOL

I don't see any racism here. The detergent commercial actually is saying "we are all the same on the inside, it's our actions that matter".

How about Chris Rock's jokes about Asians which he "apologized for Asians being offended by the controversy" - a way of saying "lol sorry not sorry"?

Beijing: A Chinese detergent maker has apologised for a television advertisement that many in China and around the world called racist, but also blamed the media for causing the public outcry.

In the ad for Qiaobi laundry detergent, a black man wolf-whistles at an attractive Chinese woman, who beckons him over. She then stuffs a packet of detergent in his mouth and shoves him head-first into a washing machine.

A moment later, the woman opens the lid and a fair-skinned Asian man pops out.

State media reported the ad had first appeared in April but went viral after being posted on YouTube last week, where it racked up millions of views within a few days. Some Chinese and foreign internet users condemned it as racist.

"We express our sincere apologies and sincerely hope that the many internet users and the media will not read too much into this," the company said in a statement at the weekend.

The company deleted an online version of the ad in response to the outcry, the state-backed Global Times reported, citing an interview with the firm. However, versions of it could still be seen on Chinese and foreign video platforms, including YouTube, on Monday.

Public discussions of racial discrimination are unusual in China, which is dominated by the ethnic Han majority but is also home to dozens of minority groups as well as a growing influx of foreign residents, including from African countries.

"Even though the people who shot the ad may not have realized it, it really is racist," wrote one user of the popular microblogging platform Weibo. "Those who planned the ad strategy should really have read up first."

The Global Times, a popular tabloid known for its nationalistic op-ed section, said in an editorial on Monday that Western media coverage was "too extreme" and that China had no problems with ethnic discrimination.

"There have been many evils during the development of the West in this era, and racism is one of them," the paper said. "China's social process hasn't been the same experience, so using the same yardstick to measure China's performance will lead to results that are inevitably absurd."

The company that owns the Qiaobi brand, Shanghai Leishang Cosmetics, could not be reached for further comment on Monday.

@AndrewJin , I prefer liquid because of convenience of use.
