'Racist' Chinese advert appals viewers
- 8 years ago
A Chinese advert for laundry detergent has been winning attention for all the wrong reasons, with at least one commentator describing it as "jaw-droppingly racist."
The commercial, for the Qiaobi detergent brand, begins with a woman loading her washing machine. A black man in paint-splattered clothes appears, who then wolf-whistles and winks at the woman.
She beckons him over, then pushes him into the machine - and he emerges, to the woman's delight, as a Chinese man in clean clothes.
