If you look at it as a struggle on a personal level then it's you thats adding the racist part to it. I did not look at it and think racism.
Maybe its you that's racist because I saw 2 people. I did not see an african/asian/african american.... and a european/british person

Thats actually a very intersting point.
By trying to be a do gooder for everyhting you can actually harm the people you are trying to help.

I would never have thought of that, but its again a great point. Not wanting to make any accusations on Sarahlouise, but perhaps its time to stop thinking about things being racist and lets just treat people as fellow human beings.
Things I have to ask are:-
Paul mcartneys and stevie wonder (?) Ebony and Ivory. is that racist, it portrays black and white.
Was the old TV system racist after all you had to ask for a BLACK AND WHITE licence.
what about mint hunbugs, some of them are black and white.
Hey even Newcastle uniteds home strip is black and white.....the racist buggers.
(has nothing to do with me being a smoggie)
As ludicrous as all that sounds, its all along the same principles as this advert.
The colour of peoples skin is determined by their genetic make up, it cannot be changed and we must not make racism a comical affair.
The advert is only racist if your own perception is withdrawn so much you believe everyone is racist for saying black and white.
