Racism in a Chinese laundry detergent advertisement

A laundry detergent firm in China has come under fire for its racist commercial.
The advertisement, which quickly went viral after it was shared on social media, sparked heated debate as internet users slammed it for its racist overtone.

I can’t even BEGIN to imagine what would happen if this ad was made in America.

This product is falsely advertised. I tried this with my black friend exactly as the commercial suggested and now I'm being tried for murder. I demand a refund.

She won't be so happy when she finds out that detergent causes shrinkage.

I think only in China they can create something racist and funny at the same time

[DisturbedVette]

This gives a whole new meaning to the term “white washing”

Fun fact the black actor didn’t KNOW the outcome of the ad, I don’t believe it was made clear to him because when he talked about it to the black community in China (yes, black people live there too) he was pretty upset by it.

Things shrink in the laundry. Just wait until she looks down.

Fact: Here in Italy we had a commercial that did the exact opposite: bland white husband turned into a muscular black guy, because it was a colorant commercial.

I guess you can call that

She literally took the term "white washing" to another whole level. 💀

I’m African and I’m dying to show my Chinese friend this video. He’d be laughing his ass off going “ waahhhh the fuckkkk” 😂😂😂

[hayleyscomet]

The actor didn’t care about it being racist. Just a paycheck to that dude.

Who else just randomly searched for racist commercials

How can you be a black man and say “yeah I’ll do this obviously racist commercial.” Lmfao.

[iCyberZombie]

Imagine the creative director pitching this concept to the company and the owner was like — sold!

I’m dying to learn which studio created this.

[nightrider]

*WHOA! thats crazy.And the Black guy agreed to do this?!?*

[Vikas-gzov]

How TF that black guy agreed to do this ad ?? 😅

[vaishx]

WOKE people on Twitter: *America’s a racist country*

China: *hold my beer*

Revisiting this moment ended my depression.

Instructions unclear, I'm now being charged for taking my friend's life. I'm now in court and getting arrested. Where is my friend? I thought he'd turn out Asian? 💀
