Remember it was an African playing golf , when he lifted his arm to smack the gholf-ball the squirrell sitting above his head feel down and fainted from the smell coming from the african's underarm. Why is that not classed as being racist. Just a question, just want to know if you really know what being racist means.:))

Nee, dit is nie.
Ek dink die wereld het al ver genoeg beweeg om te besef die ou in die advertensie verteenwoordig mans oor die algemeen (nie net swart mans nie.)
(`African` is nie rassisties nie, maar dis beter om na hom te verwys as `Black`. )
Ek het ook in die VK gebly en het `n kultuurskok gekry toe ek terugkom SA toe.

I think the reason the actor was black was a nod to Tiger Woods, the most famous golfer in the world...
An advert is to sell products after all, not make a political statement. Rightguard dont care what colour you are as long as you buy their products and woldnt deliberately upset a demographic and stop them buying their product.

Wow, you have a serious problem.
I agree with the first answer, I hadn't even considered the race/colour of the man in the ad until you mentioned it.
He just looks like a regular friendly guy who plays golf and smells a bit if he forgets his deo - could be any guy on earth, black, white, yellow, green, any colour.
End of story.

Can you explain how exactly this is racist?
People of all races can get body odour.
Would it have been racist against white people
if the golfer in question had been played by a Caucasian?

oh come on. Dont play the race card. If thats the case and a white man starred in it that would be racist. I am sick of these sort of questions from people like you.

it wasn't an African-it was just a black man!!! i know the advert you mean and to be honest until you said that i hadn't even thought about him being black and i wouldn't imagine anyone else had either!!! i know what being racist means and for you to see a black man and call him an African-i think that's racist!!

Why is it racist? It was just a bloke with a body odour problem as far as I`m concerned. Are white people the only ones who need deodorant then?

I dont think that can be classed as racist. in fact i think it is a good way to get people to realise that you have to be a white guy to play golf........It is not an attack on a black man with bad bo..Infact i would say it is more likely to be a cruelty to animals....

Ah, that's speciesist - the squirrell was over-acting to draw attention to his opinion that humans stink - we all look the same to him anyway.

That would taste disgusting not that I have ever used KY jelly you understand !! I think that it would be spiteful to put a jelly fish in a trifle.
