So Sergio Garcia "had to say sorry" to Tiger Woods for his "I'd buy him fried chicken" Or whatever.. - GoFuckYourself.com

So Sergio Garcia "had to say sorry" to Tiger Woods for his "I'd buy him fried chicken" Or whatever it was he said. Then I see this KFC advert with basically all "black" people or whatever the term is these days, and a white guy's head thrown into the crowd.

Then while trying to find the advert on youtube, which ironically was where it was played as a pre-roll, I find this one:

So KFC is basically only using black people in its ads these days? But it's not ok to say to someone; "We could get some fried chicken"

What if he would have said something like; "I'd invite him over for a Paella", would that have been ok?

Just wondering

Seems like it's ok to advertise in a racist manner, but you can't invite someone to for a fried chicken dinner.

Marketing in general is racist. Look at what is pitched during sporting events or a certain movie or tv show. American idol type shows are especially obvious.

Probably the main backlash came from Tiger's sponsors for whom he is an earner.

Great point. Next time I see a Rabbi I'm going to hold up a jar of Kosher Dills and scream matzah matzah boom boom babatzah!
