So Washington Mutual has these comercials running right now that show a group of all white bankers, and this this black guy who is supposed to be a washington mutual employee.

The group of about 30 white are pompous, arogant, corrupt, stupid, and very elitist.
If comercials were run that portrayed a group of 30 blacks as uneducated, vulgar, violent, and generally undesirable they would be pulled the first day. Not to mention the out cry from the media.
I think they are hugely insulting, and that this goes beyond a double standard. Using a negative steriotype to gain customers based on their hatred of white people.
Completely tasteless.
Washington Mutual has no class whatsoever.
Was anyone else bothered by this?
