I think people that find it offensive seriously need the diamond pulled out of their ass.

I mean come on.
#1, it's not even an American ad.

#2, it's symbolic since the new PSP is white

#3, People need to stop thinking about racial shit, because let's face it, the only reason people keep finding it offensive is because people keep dwelling in the past.

#4, Ctrl-Alt-Del had a nice rebuttal to it:

The original Nintendo DS only came in Black as a special order, not as a standard color. It came in grey or blue/purple as a standard color.

On the news last night they televised interviewing people around Sacramento yesterday, showing them the first ad...everyone they interviewed was black, and everyone found it VERY offensive. The ad is actually only being shown in Holland atm, but someone from the San Jose (CA) ACLU was up in arms over it as well.

i dont really care if your black or white or mexican or.. whatever else.

but around here in memphis, its the black people who make the huge fuss over being black, kind of unavoidable.

so tellin us white folk that we keep kicking the horse is kind of moot, when its not even us having a problem with skin color

yeah I get so annoyed because people always see something like that and immediatly think RACIST. Jeeze... It wasn't intended that way so I duuno, maybe just get the fuck over it already? I'm so fucking tired of non whites bitching and moaning over rasism and shit like that. Considering that causcasians are now the fucking minority in a lot of major cities (Houston would be one).. when do WE get special aid? What about the United Caucasian College Fund? Oh nooooooo that would be racist..!! Bite my ass! It's the 21st century, race has no meaning any more.. slavery's been gone for a long fucking time people, GET OVER IT. Either special treatment for EVERY "minority" or better yet for NO ONE. You wanna be an equal? Then treat everyone equally!

yep whites are the minority in memphis. its 35% white here. awhile back, I went to TGI Friday's, had this waiter.. At first i thought maybe he was gay, but then he whipped out his wallet and said "thats my wife and kid". Both white. Then he started RANTING and RAVING about how the black folks in this town are fuckin stupid, tearing up their free houses and then bitching about it.

i left really enlightened and entertained.

I can't wait for the next national census or w/e and whites are listed as a miniority.. Want a harvard education anyone? Oh yeah and i will take that for free kkthx. the race card has been played on and on. And Like temp i am so fucking sick of hearing it. The other good thing once us white folks be a miniority WET tv.. Then can i get my own White history month? can i bitch and blame all my problems in life on being oppressed.. can i make it so that i can leach even more off the gov and there is shit they can do about it. If you think america is racist get the fuck out. I am not a white racist. I hate every fucking worthless low life peice of shit there is. regardless of skin color.

*huggles Keri* I agree!

It's a lot of frustration built up Roz.. See, I don't care what color you are but "bitchy whiney blame all their problems on oppression" types just piss me off. It hasn't stopped countless people from getting educations, great jobs, owning businesses, becoming wealthy and / or being contributors to the society so stop the self racism! Color, religion and sexual orientation mean nothing to me. It's the lazy mooch off the system types that piss me the fuck off. And yeah there's white trash pieces of crap who do it too.
