Clip made both 202 shows today....apparently, the Aussies are saying their rival team is the Caribbean team, which are predominately dark people, hence the guy is sitting amongst a bunch of rival cricket fans and saying that despite their rivalry, they can all be brought together....by chicken...

Not the context that us "racist Yanks" are assigning it by inferring that the guy is offering a bunch of black people chicken because blacks like chicken.

[Dude!]

that's fantastic
not racist in the least

those people could have been
canadians
and the ad would have
the same effect

you show your deep racism
by reading race into that

I would agree, that it's kind of idiotic to assume that American racial stereotypes translate Worldwide, which most seem to be doing by the reaction to this thing (which has blown up all over the place today).

That may be the greatest commercial ever. The final line seals it for me.

Of course it's not racist, everyone knows its African blacks that like fried chicken, not Carribean blacks!
