Racist VW ad pulled.

What were they thinking. White Power "OK" symbol, Cafe called the little colonist. Subliminal use of the french form for N igger.

Do people have anything better to do with their lives than continuing to assume everything is racist?

Also lol @ the OK sign being a white power thing, nobody with any sense takes that seriously

This is pathetic and I have to assume you're trolling, Whirly

German television noted that the hand could be interpreted as making a “white power” gesture, while letters that appear on the screen afterwards briefly spell out a racist slur in German.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/may/21/volkswagen-withdraws-golf-car-ad-that-sparked-racism-row vw themselves were horrified by the ad.

Nothing I stated, is not stated in this and other articles.

Germany has been flirting with antisemitism for some years now, so it's not surprising if true. I'm still not buying into the "OK" gesture as a White Power/Supremacy symbol. It wasn't anything but an "OK" gesture for decades.

Antisemitism?

Depends on the anti-semetics, on whether that's a bad thing. "Kill the Jews" is clearly monsterous. Pointing out Jews control Hollywood is something Jews themselves like Ben Stein openly admit, yet would also be considered anti-semetic.

Googled the issue up.

Ok, it sounds pretty bad if true. Protestors using Covid-19 cover to display hate symbology, vaccine conspiracy theory.

I will say Germany also effectively considers it anti-semetic to denounce Zionism, which by that standard many in the American left are anti-semites.

Yeah no, it's not the same thing. Nice try though.

And please don't think posting left leaning media outlets saying it is racist makes it racist.

It's not. This is not the hill to die on kiddies.

...and pansy was just a flower, 'coon' was just lazy slang for 'racoon', guinea was just the name of a country in west africa, etc
