It's questionable at best, understanding that a large number of sales will be in a racially-sensitive U.S. market, and with recent concerns about ethnicity in many European countries (even if the latter issue is clearly about immigration, culture, and jobs.)
I'd probably be more upset about the sexism in the ad, since it's clearly a marketing ploy with no intention of racism. I just think that it's a stupid choice for a company with so many resources.
