John Boyega ad for British brand reshot with Chinese actors for local market. Company apologises

[Luke Cage]

No one should be surprised by this. Pretty much every advert/poster (that’s not basketball related) with black people in it gets race switched for the Chinese market. They’re quite unapologetic about their racism and we should look to stop frequenting their businesses if we can help it

I grew seeing cacs go "made in china? , no thanks." I was always like do you actually know if the chinese shyt is worse than the american or are you being ?

Hint they were being

but i never realized that the chinese were overseas doing the same exact shyt to us all these years.

"black people are in this? no thanks."

I make sure now to support black business only when i can.

IT KINDA COMES DOWN TO STAR POWER TOO. JOHN WAS A STAR WARS MAIN CHARACTER. I FEEL LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH CLOUT TO CARRY A COLOGNE BRAND IN CHINA.

You're trolling me right?

They almost removed him from the Star Wars promo posters in China.

Companies are know for this. Remember how the only time you saw commercials with an all-Black cast was during the Soul Train Awards?

My thing is, you're supposed to recast with the same amount of star power. Who is this Asian guy?

chinks are toe-to-toe with indians when it comes to charisma

I was about to say this. Chinese people hate blacks for the most part.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Apparently he wrote the idea behind the commercial, too...wow...

Not surprising. Chinese still puts on black face during annual festivals.

But clowns like China Mac said we should put respect on their culture.

Frank Ocean has ads in China.

We’ve been conditioned to think group economics is ignorant but I don’t see anything wrong with us being exclusive with our money.

This racist bullshiit aside, why tf are fragrance commercials always so dramatic? You spray it then go.
In these commercials you either are doing outlandish activities or having sex in a full suit/dress in a fancy french hotel

Two ends of the spectrum though.
Our main issue is making money off other people's groups the way they do off ours. You can open a successful chinese restaurant in the hood pretty much always. But you have alot more of a challenge opening successful black owned restaurant in white suburbia or china town.
So yes we as consumers have to support black business. But black business owners can't just rely on black dollars to be successful. in fact it's better if they exclusively don't. Just funnel money out of their community into ours one way.

Anti-black bigotry is GLOBAL.

This is why I said China needs to get out of Africa it never sat right with me.

 

[JackRoss]

Nevermind.

This happened in Italy

This in Britain
