Yes, that ad is racist, IF seen in the context of a single picture. What you fail to mention, or more likely perhaps, dont know is that Sony commissioned a series of pictures like the one above but showing the models in varying positions (Black in authority, netural and White in authority) and are using them all as adverts.

Either way i just see this as cynical marketing gimmik by Sony and their minions in a United Colours of Bennetton sort of way.
