I'm all for equality - Dont get me wrong. I dont care what your skin colour is when you make my burger. As long as its made correctly. If its not right, its going back, regardless of what race the employee is...
But, that said, I do feel that ad is a 'double standard'

I agree, Sober, it's double standard.
Double standards are however generally considered fair when a weak(er) party is involved.
"National Association for the Advancement of Black People" = good cause.
"Association for the Advancement of White People" = white supremacist (

"Women's League" = ok
"Men's League"= sports or porn or chauvinists
"Gay Power" good cause.
"Straight Power" nutcases in the Christian Belt.
"Empowering Fat People", I'm with it.
"Empowering Athletic People" sounds Nazi.
