image 1 for Racist Car Commercials - Nissan Upsets SaudisRacist Car Commercials - Nissan Upsets Saudis
This Nissan video commercial has received a lot of criticism for being racist. The Japanese car manufacturer has gone and upset Saudi Arabia so much, they have threatened a boycott of the car company after…

If Saudi oil barons constitute a race, then the ad is racist. On the other hand, if the ad showed Saudi oil barons, Saudi hotel workers and other Saudi hotel guests all participating in the attact on the car, then the ad would be racist. As it stands, the ad portrays a tiny sliver of the Saudi population, oil barons, as sharing a common dislike for fuel efficient cars. Inflamatory yes. Racist, hardly.
