Heh I ran into this on news.com.au a few hours ago too… so silly. I’d understand if it was an American white guy with a crowd of black Americans… but Australia / West Indies, there’s no issue. Yanks just read too much into things.

I watched the KFC add a few times here in the UK during the cricket and thought nothing of it and there was not even the slightest reaction whatsoever with the big west indies population here coz they get the joke. Dayum yanks think too much on racial lines and misinterpret everything in the world because of their ignorance!!

they played this ad last year and nobody said a word about it. It’s kind of like the not happy Jan. Played one year nothing happened. Played the next year and you couldnt do anything with out someone going “Not Happy Jan”.
