like i said the chicken is the least racist part

A lone white man sits amongst a sea of black faces. "Need a tip for when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" Only through the lense of American Cultural Imperialism could such a scene appear racist.

@candyisc00l - Anyone can experince racism. This ad is not racist and does not have racist undertones. Unless you're a cricket fan you have not experienced what is being portrayed. Thanks for the ignorant input. Fail.

Well I’ll wait until I hear from the people actually depicted in the ad rather than a bunch of Americans to complaining thanks. I think that the Redskins is a pretty offensive name but it’s not my place to bleat and cry about that.

Not sure how you didn’t get the message after the 20th century, but Yanquii go home basically.

at least in the US you would have a few token white or non-black people on the other team so it wouldn't seem like they're a white couple uncomfortable being surrounded by non-whites

Oh my God are you serious: They’re the fucking West Indian cricket team, of course their supporters are going to be made up of black people.

I know it's hard for the US to conceive of playing sports against other countries when they call their domestic competitions the "World Series" but seriously man, come on.

The reason why it’s so annoying is that there are all sorts of real, shameful accusations you can make against Australian racism (and discipline has been doing that) but you lazily reach for a second-hand outrage given to you by the TV that is completely and utterly irrelevant to the actual experiences of race in this country.

Vampirachrists post was retarded but so are yours. I'm not 'outraged' I'm just saying there was a very noticeable racist element in that commercial. I find it strange that you seem unwilling to notice this apparently because it's not an American sport? As if cricket and Australias relationship with the West Indians via cricket is completely divorced of the racist history that Australia has as a former part of the British empire and as an independent nation...

Obviously there are other far more important issues i just find this sort of willful cognitive dissonance to be strange

Ahaha if there's ONE thing we can learn from international cricket and football competition it is that sports transcend the traditional racist relationship betwene Anglo peoples and nonwhites

It does, quite a lot really. All the sports Americans watch are insular. Our main competitors in our most favourite sport are India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, England and the West Indies. If you've got any evidence about the shocking racism of international cricket i'd like to hear it.

But the primary historical relationship we have with the west Indies is cricket, not slavery or racism.

OK well apparently you don't know what you are talking about because there have been investigations by the ICC into racism against South Africans and many others within the last like 10 years. So it's been established you are just talking shit and have no actual idea about the reality of the situation. Fly awya trolL!

What the fuck does South Africa have to do with this?

I'll be happy to engage you on Australian racism if you find something less fatuous than a chicken ad to discuss.

is "first australians" a term in common use? also the contracting system whereby you have to be a certified carpenter to build a house or whatever is terrible
