8722: Drowsy Driving While Black.


As a follow-up to the previous post, check out Mercedes-Benz’s attempt at diversity. The old White guy in the extended commercial was replaced by an old Black guy in the re-edited version. It’s sorta the opposite of what Microsoft pulled in Poland.

    insert token black guy here........ much of advertising is like this. They didnt intend to put him in there originally but because of politics & not wanting to seem racist they just threw a black actor in there. Ever notice on the advertising side that theres always one token black working at a all white agency. cruel world
