I really love people sometimes. They honestly believe they made something a certain color to offend people rather than because it looks good or to make is distinguished from other items.

Exactly what I'm saying. The color of the hand held item is just the color of a person. Just because of that there going to think it's trying to offend other races of some sort.
If they made them a different color would it be so racist?

It's alot like how Giovanni Schiaparelli saw "bodies of water" on the surface of Mars. People see things that aren't there because they're looking for something to be there.

To all the people saying, "OMG IT RACIST CAUSE IT SAY WHITE IS BETTER!" where does it say or allude to whtie being better? It says white is coming. Traditionally that hasn't fared well for black, but this isn't colonial times, now is it.
Also to those saying that, "It's not racist, they're just changing colours." I must point out that white is not replacing blakc, it's gonig to be coexisting peacefully.
As in, the ad is 100% not racist accourding to everyone in this thread's logic. The only way it could be interpretted as racist is the wya the white women is manhandling the black man. But maybe that's just their thing or she want his blackman handle.

People are too offended nowadays. Like many have said, people are offended because they interpret things in such a way to be offended. I don't imagine there to be a company—that isn't supported by anything like the KKK—plotting to send out subliminal messages about racism. What else would they compare black to anyways? Any color of the rainbow? Colors are simply tacky and gray is boring, so white is the natural new choice. I believe racism is only bad when it leads to hate crimes or makes another feel uncomfortable all the time.

I don't think there would be this conversation, because the blacks have never oppressed the whites(at least on a big scale.)
But I don't think this is racism either.

I'm taking out the character chart so I can type this.
It's racist because the white person looks at the black person in disgust and the ad is suppose to represent the new psp is better, so the relation to white people and black people is just suggestive at that point. If it was a black person doing it to a white person no one would care because white people were not enslaved by the oppisite race for hundreds of years. But the ad was pulled anyway.

So, were the ads for the black PSP racist against white people? Why would you put a black person in that? They were obviously going for a very white style, so a black person just wouldn't fit in.

this 2006 not 2106, the message it sends to people is racism. Thus, the meaning of it is racism. Wether the true meaning was racist or not, who cares. What it says to people is racism.

If you see racism in that ad then you are being racist. You are saying just because a while person is looking down on a black person it is racist. So if it was another white person it wouldn't be racist? Just because theres a black person there? Whats wrong with black people? I mean so what if their is a black person and a white person. Black and White are adjectives. ADJECTIVES. THEY DESCRIBE NOUNS.
It is clever advertising, that is all.

Also note that the guy playing the black PSP in the ad couldn't have thought it was racist if he agreed to it, disagreeing with him for the sole reason that you think it's wrong for a white women to grab a black man fearsomely by the face hmm. Could it mean you're the racist here? Anyone who disaproves of this ad is a closet bigot.
