If the colours were reversed I would still see it as being racist. In my eyes, a person is a person and should be treated equally. If a poster gives off the impression that a white person has more authority - that equals racism. If a poster gives off the impression that a 'black' person has authority then that is racist too. Everyone is equal, no matter what sex, religion, race, colour etc etc etc etc......

Its an advert for ****s sake, some people really need to get out more.

This kind of **** makes me soooo ****ing angry.
I bet the sheilas wheels advert on TV isnt sexist, or Diamond for that matter.
I totally agree about the Sheila's Wheels and Diamond adverts being sexist. As it happens, by all accounts, it's actually more expensive for women to sign up to those companies for their car insurance than it is to sign up with a 'normal' company that deals with both men and women! What's the point???
