Why should that be racist ?

1) If Australia was playing England, than they would probably show the same guy in the middle of England supporters wearing the England jersey - but as Australia is playing the West Indies, they are showing W'Indies supporters.

2) The West Indies supporters are not portrayed in a negative way.

3) KFC has a strong presence in the Caribbean, much stronger than any other fast food brand, so  claiming that KFC products are popular there is not that far fetched.


Maybe if Americans were aware other countries existed to play sport against they would understand the ad.


Instead of having a World Series involving one country  :P

It's saying that nogs are notoriously noisy people and sometimes the white man has to bring out the fried chicken to get them to shut the fuck up.

Yes. They do. Walked to a small Jamaican village restaurant near Port Antonio and actually pointed out the chicken in the pen I wanted cooking. Never forgotten how good that was.

Did they use some special herbs and spices? You should patent that shit and start your own restaurant

One time i was at the post office, and there was a black guy in front of me.  I asked him what he was up to, and this is what he said :  "I'm just mailing some bills in, and then i'm taking my kids to a family activity".  I was like "Pssh, you fucking oreo!" and slapped the shit out of him.
