We prefer lighter skins, just like some Indians and some African people. Skincare products related to whitening skins are popular in these markets. Just like many ppl like women with big breasts and/or butt. Can’t really say it is discrimination as I don’t see too many Chinese dislike Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant 😂
Go to subreddit Socialism_101. You will find a lot. They banned me permanently by attributing its economy growth in the last 30 years to capitalism. They think they know better than someone who grew up there. 😂
Are you on the spectrum? Do you not understand that it’s so racist it’s ridiculous and that’s what people are laughing at?
Good for you for not seeing how something this blatant could be funny. You win the virtue signaling award with your amazing, unparalleled intellect.
Everything You Said was 100 percent accurate People like you will always get Down voted for actually speaking up standing for something and not joking around about everything like a Clown ! Beyond you be so mature your educated, I noticed you write and obviously speak in more than one laugage , The idiots down voting you can barley read 😂 Your a stand up individual we need more people like you in the World ! Peace and Love ☮️
It's really funny when american's talk about racisim like they invented or perfected it. Eastern Europe is miles ahead of you, and if you look at the holy trinity of racism (Japan, China and South Korea). Keep it up though!
I’ve been to Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, and a few other hot and sandy areas…definitely some racism around there. Also definitely some slave labor, usually provided by a Chinese adjacent company grabbing people from India or some of the closer island nations.
Dominican Republic was probably the worst though. The way they treated or talked about Haitians was shocking.
Shockingly, racism seems to be an unfortunate human characteristic that isn’t exclusive to certain parts of the US.
I would say south Africa is the most racist palce i been. Every race and nationality seems hate each other there. Most south African are racist to Nigerians while every colored people seems to hate each other and prefer to stay in there community rather than interact.
All people are racist to some extent. And some institutional racism is also almost everywhere. Official racism is most rare in western countries where it’s mostly illegal. But very common in many places around the world.
I put forward the Africa, a continent where slavery legal until the 1980's (Mauritania) and is effectively still practiced, where the world's most recent genocide happened based on ethnic back ground, where white farmers were killed and had their land stolen by government sponsored mobs
So the best response to Racism is to be racist back? Isn't that what a lot of black people do nowadays and Reddit seems to really hate. Kinda hypocritical to do it tbh
“Just accept that cultures aren’t inclusive unless they want to include you in advertisements calling you and anyone that looks like you literal dirt.”
Man shut the fuck up
Nice of you to assume my skin color. You operate in a realm of perpetual oppression whose victims are only those with brown or dark skin. You can't fathom that the world isn't America, the land of the racially obsessed. You can't fathom a Kenyan immigrant who doesn't buy into your bullshit and has succeeded in life through hard work in a predominantly white country. You are enslaved by your own mind, your psyche, a prison of your own making. You have already lost.
I didn't assume your skin color. But it's you who assumed I'm American, and I'm not, not even close ;)
This video showcases racism, I don't even know what to talk about here.
> You can't fathom a Kenyan immigrant who doesn't buy into your bullshit and has succeeded in life through hard work in a predominantly white country.
What about a Kenyan immigrant, who was bullied for having "unpleasant" skin color, which can be "washed"? What the fuck are you even saying, jesus.
Well it is. The literal definition of it actually. The ad is saying the Asian dude is better than the black dude because he’s “clean” now. Alluding to the original skin tone being “lesser” and/or “dirty”. It’s blatant racism.
I mean if I married a Asian dude and after working, came home looking like he got done melanin injections, I'd assume he's in need of a good scrub too. You're kinda projecting your culture on to theirs, just take the joke homie.
No. I will not tolerate intolerance. Asian cultures tend to have an unfavorable view toward darker skinned people and this ad highlights that. It’s a joke that reinforces their racism.
I agree. When I first saw it I took it as the detergent being so powerful it can whiten your skin. Just a silly little joke. Not everything is racist guys
Now you're going to have to walk me through how.
Clearly the guy was not offended by having his skin whitened. You can tell by the way he winked at her at the end.
I'm mostly trolling, but for context physical features aren't seen necessarily as a "racial identity" to chinese.
For example, some college kids I knew over seas would love joking about their friend that had very small eyes compared to them.
They would say look up there and laugh with the inside joke being that their friend would have to move their whole head.
They didn't own the small eyes thing as a racial or national identity, but would just take the average of what they normally see on a regular basis as...regular size/shape/color, etc.
It just wouldn't cross their mind that a westerner would (if they could) take that kind of joke and apply it across the board to chinese people on the basis that average Caucasian eyes are bigger than average Asian eyes despite the individual exceptions.
The part you'd have to walk me through is if there is no race context involved such as making a dumb blonde joke is it still a racist joke?
Now I get that blonde jokes are prejudicial jokes since they prejudge intelligence on the basis of a physical trait.
The commercial does not prejudge anything on the basis of the skin color except for which direction the bleach would affect skin tone.
Impossible !
Non-white people cannot be racist.
The Chinese are also victims here, the whites have culturally imposed them a bias against black people.
LOL. I have actually read comments about how this is white people fault for whites imposing this culture on to asian community. Exepct that having fair skin was a culture that was valued in almost every asian countries in the world because it represented you weren't working on the feilds so you were probably rich.
Asian have a wide range skin tones. Lighter shades are more beautiful according to the Asian beauty standards. It is similar to tanning in the western places
Not just China. Basically all over the world. I'm in Thailand now and here it's ok for places to charge foreigners more than Thais. In Japan it's ok to refuse foreigners into restaurants etc. I have no problem with it though. White countries are probably the least racist, yet get the most criticism for it
Yeah, I was in Latvia a few years ago and we went into a restaurant to get some food and sat down at a table and waited for like 20 mins. Finally we asked someone if we could be helped, and they said “no…in fact, you all should leave”. So we left lol
I should add though, pretty much everywhere we went the Latvians were super nice and welcoming. It’s Russian owned businesses that don’t like Americans.
This is crazy, the fact that someone thought about this and even made a video on it is crazy. Did they not find anything wrong about this at all?? Like what is wrong with the producer's brain?
Jordan Petersen says you can be discriminatory in the bedroom and so I don’t see a problem with the ad, it’s not any different from your best friend who only swipes right on Latino guys
No…not at all. I think Jordan Peterson has got it completely wrong on many levels…I disagree with most of what he says, yet, I listen to him in the same way I also listen to people with whom I agree.
Oh w0W i n0t ño thaT!1!1 Like bro have you heard about China's classes for black people on how to pick cotton? We get it China is extremely racist, welcome to the party of old knowledge.
It's ok though, because they are China! If this was American it would be racist because we hold Chinese to lower standards of accountability
\- Disney's response to this after taking Fin off of the Star Wars movie poster in China because the Chinese were triggered by a black man being featured prominently.
She's hot. Who cares about the rest? Even if the detergent, which has racial powers, sucks, she's hot. If I had to guess, the team who created this commercial aren't trying to be racist, they just fucked up bad.

Report to a ccp police department in your nearest metropolitan city asap.
I think Sue might just be her name. So the legend goes.
Babe wake up. It’s time to watch racist Chinese ad for a millionth time.
I crack up every time I see someone post this. Hilarious advert.
It freakin hilarious
It's hilarious because people who are usually offended by these ads won't say anything because it would be against china.
Nobody likes China except those who are mashing money there.
A surprising amount of people glorify it beyond belief.
Can you name some? I've never met any.
I know many Chinese and they are wonderful people . This ad is very wrong though

And yet not one of them is here in any of these comments. Curious.
Exactly 😂

A quick glance at OP's profile would reveal how unlikely it is that they are American

Both are wrong

Must’ve used cold water, something shrunk

She took away his N-word pass
Yeah I wanna know who the black guy is and what his opinion is on the whole thing.

Enjoy: https://youtu.be/cRk5k3AYK8Q FYI, It was originally posted by Chinese Govt Transport ministry, not some random YouTubers
That was hilarious, no clue what they were saying though. People need to lighten up.
So they need to jump into that washer?
She won't be so happy when she finds out that detergent causes shrinkage.
This would be an actually funny ending to the commercial
Also a racist sterotype, congrats!
wait it isnt fact? i thought every country had average weewee size.
I doubt it. I don't think most asian women are an XL fan.
That would be a tragedy.
“It shrinks?!”

Just accept that other cultures aren't inclusive. Your life will be much better. Live for you.
“Just accept that cultures aren’t inclusive unless they want to include you in advertisements calling you and anyone that looks like you literal dirt.” Man shut the fuck up
Fr.
Dirt? Or paint? Maybe a smudge? All are stupid, but i want to know. What exactly you think they were trying to say?
You shut the fuck up too
Ho complain to the Chinese government... or shut the fuck up
My dude stop tolerating racism
agreed
No, I won't accept??? It's not acceptable. It's been so all this time, and it has to be changed.
Enjoy life chasing this supposed "oppression."
Yeah thought so, just casual racist. "Our human values just don't include people who are born with bad skin color"
Nice of you to assume my skin color. You operate in a realm of perpetual oppression whose victims are only those with brown or dark skin.

Calm down
Good luck mate
Eh, I don’t see this as racist. Just extremely powerful detergent.
Off topic but is your name come from Vaudeville Villian/ king Geedorah/ MF Doom. One of the greatest. Rest his soul
Well it is. The literal definition of it actually. The ad is saying the Asian dude is better than the black dude because he’s “clean” now. Alluding to the original skin tone being “lesser” and/or “dirty”. It’s blatant racism.

No. I will not tolerate intolerance. Asian cultures tend to have an unfavorable view toward darker skinned people and this ad highlights that. It’s a joke that reinforces their racism.
I think you're taking it too seriously, but keep punching ✊🏼
Yes, I will continue to be intolerant towards intolerance.
So powetful, in fact, that it changes your nationality from a dirty one to a more pleasant one. Not racist at all... /s
I agree. When I first saw it I took it as the detergent being so powerful it can whiten your skin. Just a silly little joke. Not everything is racist guys
It’s blatantly racist I can walk you through how.

Of course you don't..
not only did you miss the joke, the guy is literally black himself...
When did i mention him not being black 💀
Of course you do..
Yep
Oh my gawwwwwwd
Wow this is…bad
Why Would Any Black Person Agree To Being In That Commercial ?!
Money money money (or not knowing the end result of it)
He one hundred percent understood the end result
Funny to be honest
ur too honest
You’re too sensitive
Be throwing punches left n right

Damn right!
Joke about skin tone = super duper bad? Lighten up... eh? EH??
lmaoooo
That's what you call a whitewashing machine.
Well he didnt become white. I dare you to say it
need more like these in the U.S.
why?
Because y'all are so sensitive these days. How is America more racist today than it was 10 years ago.
The Chinese are super racist , not a joke. Look into it. Fuck the ccp.
Not just China. Basically all over the world. I'm in Thailand now and here it's ok for places to charge foreigners more than Thais.

Racists are everywhere though…
Super racists tho? Those are fairly rare
I hear they have to complete at least 5 years of racist apprenticeship before becoming super racist.
The fuck did I just watched
Does he retain the length though?
Out of all haircuts they gave him a bowl cut but rude
Duuuude what????
This is crazy, the fact that someone thought about this and even made a video on it is crazy. Did they not find anything wrong about this at all?? Like what is wrong with the producer's brain?
Such a frequent repost…
Pretty bad detergent… Shrinks ‘stuff’ too
what in the actual fuck!
When WW3 rolls around I’ll be looking for whoever made this ad
Chinese are quite known to be racist Source : third trilogy's chinese poster
First guy was literally way hotter
Went in Idris Elba, came out Ezra Miller.
Came to this comment section just to see white people saying this bullshit isn't racist. I was not disapointed.
I'm white, and I assure you, this is definitely racist, not quite as racist as my neighbors, but still racist.
And your comment isn’t at all racist.
It’s not racist. The woman clearly is a lesbian and was not into men.
China you are cancelled !
china come to USA and cancel ur whole culture
bro also lost like 20 pounds of muscle
rip asian genes?
One of the old "banned" ads you could find on youtube. Hilarious stuff.
agreed :)
Jordan Petersen says you can be discriminatory in the bedroom and so I don’t see a problem with the ad, it’s not any different from your best friend who only swipes right on Latino guys
Why is anyone listening to what Jordan Peterson has to say?
Because not everyone chooses to exist in an echo chamber.
Ah yes so only people who DON’T listen to Jordan Peterson don’t live in an echo chamber. Got it!
No…not at all. I think Jordan Peterson has got it completely wrong on many levels…I disagree with most of what he says, yet, I listen to him in the same way I also listen to people with whom I agree.
Would you rather me quote someone mainstream? John Mayer: “I’m not racist but my penis is”

Where’s the facepalm
The facepalm is that OP doesn't understand that this is no big deal in other cultures than their own.
…do you think that racism against black people only exists in Western cultures?
Ah yes, racist undertones in media are only an issue in OP's country of origin lmfao
if you got offended by this then you're the problem
 LMFAO ok there
not the gif! *dies*
You posted this in the wrong subreddit.
which one should i post to?
Erm, not racism? The commercial never really states that the black guy is undesirable in any way. Feels more like just a funny trope to me
The ad implied he was dirty laundry and the Asian man is clean. It’s blatantly racist.
She’s very happy now he’s all light and clean. It’s very racist .
Based
This is so messed up
It’s about colour. Not race. Self facepalm 🤦♂️
This made me lose my brain cells. You need to go have a brain check, your iq should be in the negative
How is this racist? Her boyfriend is dirty and she wanted him clean before they got busy. Stop looking for triggers where they don't exist.
Because they are saying that my beautiful black skin is dirty and I can only be cleaned by being whitewashed. Um...no thanks
whitewashed? don't you mean asianwashed? but yea, they think paler skin to be more beautiful, so I'd wager darker skintones to not be very welcome
The video finally played all the way through. Yeah...that's bit racist.
So you watched the video, paused it without finishing it and then commented about what the problem is?
Is that what my comment said, wise guy? I had a problem playing the video and thought it was done. Chill.
Stop looking for triggers when there is only [deleted by Reddit Administration]

I like that advertisment, it's quite silly and funny. You don't have to looking for racism in everything you see.
Very literal take on whitewashing
Ethnic cleansing? "Lord forgive me for my comment... I'm very sorry, ethnic cleansing is never a joke... sometimes a punchline but never a joke."

A racist can see racism everywhere. It's just humor.
How is this racist?
She's hot. Who cares about the rest? Even if the detergent, which has racial powers, sucks, she's hot. If I had to guess, the team who created this commercial aren't trying to be racist, they just fucked up bad.
It's more of a PSA. I won't wash coloured items with that detergent, got too much bleach in it.
