Airline pulls racist ad on Cuba
Spain’s a national air carrier Iberiapulled a sexist and racist ad that a consumer rights group deemed “offensive.” Though a spokeswoman for Iberia called the animated ad “completely trivial”, it’s hard not to argue with the indignation shown by Henry at Babalu Blog.
Here’s the ad in question via YouTube; judge for yourself if the ad is really “trivial”:
Well it's not a secret that european people are racist, all of them specially people from spain, china, japan, german, england and I don't care if they read this or not, the truth never lies but it's unconfortable.
This is incredible that in these times we can get racism, because it's supposed to be racism was dead in every single place in the world because of the increasing of the culture and scholarships people receive but that's not truth we still can see people humiliating others.
