    as to the "colorblind publicist" angle... Yeah, that's why the sprinters are ALL black.
    You must not get why they are all identical.

    This reminds me of those people who would find penises on the covers of Disney videos.

    I guess if you're looking for it, you'll find it.

    ooga booga we're all out to get you.

    Everyone and everything is racist oh wait not racist is called lack of diversity now. Good job setting equal rights back. There will always be racism and reverse racism as long as people feel the need to be excessively PC when there is absolutely no reason to be.

    'ooga booga shooga' would have made me laugh...you were oh so close...


















    it's just a ing ad.

    For the people vigorously defending the ad, are you white? lol
    I don't know if I'm considered to be defending the ad vigorously, but to answer your question and associate it with my comment, I'm Hispanic.

    Are white people's opinions not valid on the subject of racism? I sure don't see it that way.

    Is it just me or are people very very sensitive nowadays when it comes to things.... for example an African woman is complaining that a video game (Resident Evil 5) has a white man killing people in Africa even though they are zombies. But, she sees it as a white man killing black people....I didn't even think of that angle like I said I guess I'm the naive one

    No, but it is indeed biased to some extent.

    Intel’s intent of our ad led “Multiply Computing Performance and Maximize the Power of Your Employees” was to convey the performance capabilities of our processors through the visual metaphor of a sprinter. We have used the visual of sprinters in the past successfully.

    Unfortunately, our execution did not deliver our intended message and in fact proved to be insensitive and insulting. Upon recognizing this, we attempted to pull the ad from all publications but, unfortunately, we failed on one last media placement.

    We are sorry and are working hard to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

    Good thing they decided not to go with the rowing team metaphor.

    But minority opinions on racism are objective? The first mistake was classifying bias based on race. Kinda racicist actually.

    and a black or brown person's opinion is biased? Thus the knee jerk reaction and oversensitive nature of this thread and others like it? Worst than a bunch of girls pointing out the skinny girl at the party "Skinny can eat all she wants and not get fat. If my throid wasn't ed up, I'd be skinny too".

    Puh lease ... stop being a whiny little girl. Maybe you should watch more Carlos Mencia?

    There is no such thing as reverse racism.

    Power + prejudice = racism, and so if you don't have political power or economic power, you can't be racist.

    I agree that there's no such thing as reverse racism, as racism has no directional implications.

    However, you can absolutely be racist without political or economic power, you just won't be able to effectively hold back or oppress the group(s) on the receiving end of your prejudice. Black folks who arbitrarily hate all white people are no less racist than the white folks that made them sit at the back of the bus, for example.
