Now that is what i was talking about


Now this is what i told him and made him laugh

One of the Panasonic battery advertisement

Looks familiar the Mr. Gorilla? Yes, everybody knows the person who has this signature dress style and hairstyle and always is an African, especially African American actor and movie star called "Mr. T". This is how he looks like.


Now this is what i have told my Bay, seriously this advertisement is racist. Sorry to say that, but we able to found this advertisement in Malaysia, billboard especially. Dont the one who approved this advertisement realized that there are Africans in our country? What does this mean? This is equivalent to dressing up Siti Nurhaliza to look like a Gorilla, how would you feel? Offended right? So i guess the same goes to them, Africans. 

Africans are not immigrant workers who come here, they have their own national pride just like us "Malaysia Boleh" pride. Me as a Malaysian felt terribly sorry for Africans whoever saw this advertisement. I guess Malaysian terribly need mutual respect in some sense to other races.

Anyhow, i believe there are still many other racist advertisement issues. Found some interesting articles, but unable to link it. So i just share a link of some interesting tittles: Result from Google search

Anyway, this is what i have been wanted to post but always forgotten. No specify blames pointed at any party. Still, just a random post.
