Advertiser showing insensitivity to Asian Americans: Six Flags!
Not sure why Six Flags and its advertising agency, Ogilvy & Mather, believe this character is acceptable. Then again, this video taken at an actual Six Flags theme park presents a performance with another questionable Asian depiction. Perhaps Six Flags will also introduce The Chinese Water Torture ride.

I thought O+M had a diversity unit? I'm sure the late and great David O, is not happy. Peace
I'm so glad that SOMEONE is bringing this up, everytime this ad comes on my stomach drops. This is the kind of thing that shouldn't get greenlighted for the air
You people argue if a diverse actor is not used and you also argue if one is used. It's bullshit, you will never be happy or content. This is why there is racism.
Actually, anonymous, us people only object to stereotypical portrayals. Read the follow-up here and let us know if you really think Six Flags and its agency are simply casting a minority or typecasting a minority.
