All-White Gold Star Chili Commercial

By PeteyHendrix on Jun 30 2009, 4:51p 19

I can't find a link to post the new Gold Star Chili commercial that lovingly adorns our Fox Sports Ohio commercial breaks. I'd love to post it here, as the spot completely astonished me. The tag line is "This is Cincinnati Flavor." This might be true - assuming that minorities don't count in Cincinnati. You see, I counted 23 people (including parts of people like hands, and people in the background) in the commercial.

And none of them were black. Not a one.

In fact, there are no minorities to be found...perhaps the one's guy's arm is Asian, and the mustache guy might be Latino rather than Italian, but that's as close as anyone comes to being anything other than white (and pasty)

So next time you see this spot, feel free to go minority-hunting. Let use know what you think.

Poll

What do you think of the Gold Star spot?

16% It was a harmless mistake - even though it was seen and approved by pro marketers and countless Gold Star executives (10 votes)
22% Of course the ad is racist - Cincinnati is still a pretty bigotted, segregated place. (14 votes)
11% That one guy's arm was definitely Asian. (7 votes)
49% boobs (30 votes)
