I have been watching football today and saw this add for the first time. IMO it is racist in every way. The white guy is portrayed as a goofy little nerd while the black couple look cool and trendy. Conversely the black couple is also portrayed as preferring fortified liquor products to fine wine. I can't believe this is on the air.

I think far too many people look for racism where there is none. Including this commercial, there is no racism.
A black stereotype is that all they need is a 40 to be happy. This plays right into that and the portrayal of a white person who enjoys fine wine is a bit offensive too.
Again people like yourself can see racism in a SPCA commercial. Doesn't mean there is any.

So you don't think blacks being portrayed as people who are not sophisticated enough to enjoy fine wine is racist? Just give them their fortified liquor and they will be happy? I disagree.
A _____ stereotype is that all they need is ______ to be happy.
I like it. The commercial I mean. Short, Sweet and to the point. I see nothing racist about it. I think it is an excellent commercial. Although I prefer beer and bourbon.
Potraying wine lovers as a bunch of pretentious white snobs is not a stereotype of white people; it stereotypes wine lovers
If they portrayed white people as a bunch of pretentious wine loving snobs, they'd be stereotyping white people.
I hate wine.
Maybe maybe not.:lamo Okayyyy, I get it ! This is a joke thread right ??
:rofl

Growing up in a neighborhood with a lot of Italian immigrants, many of whom made their own wine from their own grapes (and whose cultures does not disapprove of serving it (watered down) to children) I learned to like wine.
However, the wine I like tastes like not sweet grape juice.
Maybe you can explain white wine to me, because to me it tastes like red wine, but without the flavor or the body.

When it comes to wine, there's very little I can explain except for what I like. And when it comes to what I like, the more they describe the taste with language like "notes of" x and "hints of" y, the less likely I am to like it.
If someone ever describes their own as "tastes like grape juice but with alcohol instead of sugar", I'll buy a case.
Why don't you look at it as a nerdy American and a trendy American couple? If your a white guy afraid of being portrayed as nerdy then be a man, if you think all black people are cool and trendy then you obviously don't know many black people.

I looked at it as it was intended by Madison Ave to be looked at and I didn't like what I saw. Incidentally I don't drink wine, I'm a Scotch man. sip
