Ashton Kutcher, for whom the new year has hardly been good from a public relations standpoint, has now been surrounded by a racism storm after donning “brown face” makeup for a money-spinning appearance in a crisps commercial.

Seriously!!? what is racist about this add???

It is so silly…ppl sometimes have nothing better to do with their lives making issues where there is none, if we brown ppl are not bothered about it what the hell is everyone else on about!! :mad:

they should put their energy into other things which are more worth while!

^Yeah I know....I see it in so many Bollywood movies...

over here they had another issue where a retail store called "Forever 21", made some accessories where the pendant was a cute east asian girl...it looked like something out of a Manga cartoon!!!

I don't see what is the issue with it..coz if these idiots actually went to East Asia...they would find that most of their accessories are like that, it is called "FASHION", and am sure the East Asians did not mind it at all!

Its all because of this one stupid guy Anil Dash who made big brouhaha over nothing.

The ad is NOT racist at all.

I mean how else are you going to portray an Indian if not in brown makeup and the typical Indian accent.

I have a typical Indian accent. And why not. Its not my first language, I'm not required to speak with with a UK / US accent.

Exactly !
