Please, this is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone that shows offence to this has no understanding of the context in which it was shown, this add was not meant for an American audience and as such any cultural understandings that exist in America have no relevance.
Furthermore just what is to be gained from this outrage. How many fried chicken companies are now going to be willing to feature black actors in their adds. Hiring actors from an agency would sound something like “We want actors for our next add please, but no black people as we don't want to discriminate against them”??? how does this make sense.
How do you suggest KFC should advertise in say, any African country where the majority of the population is black?
