Aren't we a tad sensitive about our blackness, I view such adverts with amusement. Clearly the audience are mostly ignorant and will probably never interact with a black person so obviously the intention is not to practice racism. As there are no black people, there are obviously no racist. Africans should be more confident of their skin colour to reduce the perceived incidence of racist perceptions.
I think its because of socialization and culture.... even our lingo betrays us.. Kutoa tint! rangi ya thao.. yellow yellow e.t.c. Check out this video But it's work in progress! we will get there!! think about it... how many african songs do you see white girls dancing there in? it's ingrained and thus the sensitivity!

I think in general the white race is more advanced, thus you rarely see them in bad situations, of course if a kids mostly sees black brothers doing crime, or some black guys in africa during droughts, of course that is a negative an they do not want negatives, if they were raised seeing white people doing crime and in poor filthy conditions they would mostly associate white with bad.

ION, Is the "boundary" between "Europe continent" and "Asian Continent" based on racism?

@angelica, Israel is in Asia but plays football in Europe because
Quote:
Israel began competing in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 1954 despite significant opposition from some existing members. A number of Muslim states refused to play against the new national side, which culminated in the bizarre spectacle of the 1958 World Cup qualifying stage for Asia and Africa - won by Israel without playing a single game. FIFA, determined to avoid the embarrassment of a country qualifying for the fledgling international tournament without kicking a ball, arranged a play-off with Wales. Israel duly lost the two-legged tie, suffering 2-0 defeats at home and away. Six years later, Israel hosted and won the 1964 AFC Asian Cup, which remains the country's sole international football trophy. However, the achievement was arguably undermined by the pre-tournament withdrawal of 11 of the 16 intended participating countries. Israel triumphed with just three wins, against India, South Korea and Hong Kong. An official video history of the competition released by the AFC in January 2015 omitted any mention of the 1964 tournament. After qualifying for its first and only World Cup in 1970, Israel began a 20-year period in the relative international wilderness when it was excluded from AFC tournaments from 1974. It came at a time of increased hostility in the region towards Israel, which had been at war with all its neighbouring countries in both 1967, when Israel launched a pre-emptive war and captured the Jordan-controlled West Bank and the old city of Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights and the Egyptian Sinai peninsula, and in the 1973 Yom Kippur War that saw it successfully defend its occupation of those territories. A motion initiated by Kuwait during the 1974 Asian Games, where the oil-rich state and North Korea both refused to play against Israel, saw the country expelled from the AFC. The national side played in the European qualifiers for the 1982 World Cup, before joining Oceania's qualification stage for the next two tournaments. Israeli clubs began taking part in European club competitions in 1991 and its football association became full UEFA members in 1994 - having famously beaten France in a 1993 World Cup qualifier.
