    Sony Ad - Racist or Not?

    The manchild showed this to me the other evening. According to CNET, it has now been pulled.

    Do you think it was racist?

    hummm, Not sure... Kinda...but previous PSP where Black, soooo, it's probably an analogy or something, besides Sony is too smart to fuck up like this.

        I don't think so. It's just showing a contrast between two colors. Now throw in a beaner and say PSP Brown is coming, that might be racist.

                      I'm sure it's not meant to be racist, but it can and will be very easily taken as that.

                          Wow... kickass add, almost makes me want to get back into portable gaming. All that pic needs to make it perfect is the black chick in chains and the white woman holding a whip. Man that would be hot.

                                        Racist? Hardly. Maybe had she been lynching him or whipping him or something it would be racist. Society has filled itself with a bunch of oversensitive pussies.

                                                  It's not even the slightest racist IMHO. Why is it? Someone explain

                                                    not at all. but I can see how over sensative deucebags could take it as so.

                                                        Yes, unfortunatelly black people r the most racist of all. I do understand why sometimes, but they get offended way to easilly. Probably this post is going to offend some actually...

                                                          Seen together as an entire campaign, it's a cool idea. Extremely pale girl vs. extremely dark girl in a lesbian/catfight/supermodelfight scenario. Makes for very captivating visuals. Reminds me of Grace Jones and her dramatic photos.

Black / White, constant struggle of equal forces, blah blah blah, but I'm sure the yin yang symbol is racist as well and I've just missed the memo on it.

                                                                                                  I wonder if it was reversed, would it even be spoken about ?? Doubt it...

                                                                                                    There is no racism. If it reversed it would be deemed non-racist. You can't say anything bad about a minority without being called a racist. If I say some black dude is an asshole I'd be labled a "racist". Well maybe he IS an asshole. Or are all blacks pefect and only whites can be assholes? Only whites have flaws. No other race can have flaws or you are a racist. It's all bullshit.
