Ad critic: Sony's racially charged PSP ad [update 1]

Jul 5th 2006 2:28PM (Joystiq)
I live in The Netherlands and given the current racial tensions here, this ad is definetly offensive. A couple of weeks ago, a poll was released with the figures of racism and xenophobia in NL. The figures were shocking. Something like 25% of the Dutch believed that foreigners are dirty. Another similar percentage believed that foreigners make cities worse when they moved in. Half of the population stated that they would only accept a white teacher for their children. Keeping that in mind, this ad IS offensive since it adds fuel to the fire in a society already highly divided by race and cultural differences.
