Is Coke's New Super Bowl Ad Racist??

Is Coke's New Super Bowl Ad Racist??


Okay!
First, we want you to take a look at the new Coke ad for the Super Bowl (above). When you’re done, we want to you think about what you saw.
Would you call it racist??
Apparently a lot of people think so! As you saw, the ad features an Arab walking through the desert with a camel and confronting cowboys, showgirls and other characters.
Here’s what Warren David, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, had to say if you don’t quite understand the problem with that yet:

“Why is it that Arabs are always shown as either oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?”

Poor depiction aside, we think it’s waaaaaay more telling that the ad asks asks viewers to vote online on which character or characters should win this race for a bottle of Coke.
Guess what? You can’t vote for the Arab character!
That’s some bullshizz!!
