No, I thought it was funny.

[loki]

LoL

But Jamaicans are so angry

[FD22]

lol I could definitely see this being deemed racist. Not really giving off a negative vibe though; if anything it was more complementary. But still an entertaining/funny commercial.

[loki]

No more "racist" than the Malibu commercials

And Malibu has nothing to do with Jamaica. They're just playing off the idea of the stereotypical West Indian

[peterm15]

Lol. that was funny

I will say I've never met an angry Jamaican though.

[loki]

Are the "no doot abooot it" commercials racist?

[peterm15]

Are the "no doot abooot it" commercials racist?

Oh you didn't know? You can't be racist against white people. Lol.

[loki]

Oh you didn't know? You can't be racist against white people. Lol.

F**** white people

[Pokaroo Kris]

Oh you didn't know? You can't be racist against white people. Lol.

[roachkillah]

[peterm15]

F**** white people

[CH0SiiN1]

F**** white people

... :sad

[rzapata]

Can you imagine they actually mentioned this on the radio as well? People are using the term too casually these days. Hahaha.

This is some funny &#!+ :chuckle

[peterm15]

I think my rasta buddy would get a kick out of it. Lol. Although I wouldn't understand what he was saying.

Real friends understand their friends

[peterm15]

Real friends understand their friends

I said buddy.
Most of the time I understand him. But sometimes, he smokes a bit to much starts with the slang and full out patois, the starts to mumble and speak quietly. Then I have a hard time.

Ask Phil. I'm basically deaf, when you tag in a bunch of stuff I can't understand. It makes it even worse.

He also doesn't understand me half the time. He starts with patois, I start with the Newfie.

[geobur]

"respect boss man" haha awesome

[ds2chan]

I thought that was really funny. Please, somebody try that at work and see what happens.

[Pokaroo Kris]

Ok, I have a question. Would anyone think it was racist if the guy was doing it with an (east) Indian or Oriental accent?

[loki]

And instead of a vw it was a taxicab?

[Pokaroo Kris]

I'm just asking because I know there are a lot of sensitive people out there who can't take a joke...

[loki]

I'm just asking because I know there are a lot of sensitive people out there who can't take a joke...

Are you one of them?

[Pokaroo Kris]

Are you one of them?

Not I, sir. Especially since I can rival anyone with my Indian accent :chuckle

[thanu31]

Not racist at all, this is jokes, ppl need to chill out and worry about real problems if this is a bother to them

[loki]

Not I, sir. Especially since I can rival anyone with my Indian accent :chuckle

Need video proof

[Pokaroo Kris]

Not racist at all, this is jokes, ppl need to chill out and worry about real problems if this is a bother to them

+1 to that

[Pokaroo Kris]

Need video proof

Video, shmideo. I do my stuff live, in person.

[boyracer]

Just trying to figure out how is this commercial racist? Racist because of an accent? I don't believe that construes as racist. No where in that commercial did any one race make itself superior to any other race. Then again it was a VW commercial and we all know the history behind that.



F**** white people

loki, you're whiter then beckers milk. lol

[Kiyomi]

loki, you're whiter then beckers milk. lol

ROFL. :D

[loki]

loki, you're whiter then beckers milk. lol

Not really

[loki]

What the **** is beckers milk?

[KidRambo]

I'm Jamaican and I do not find this racist at all. People need to relax with all this racism stuff.

[boyracer]

What the **** is beckers milk?

beckers was or still is a chain of convenience store's that sold their own brand of milk ...... any one know if beckers still exists?

[6strings]

If they did it in an east Indian accent I'd laugh. Everything is 10% funnier in an Indian accent, even when we are angry at something.

[boyracer]

loki, you're whiter then beckers milk. lol




Not really

I know, I know.... I kid

[loki]

ROFL. :D

It wasn't funny

Bitch

Don't you have cams to install?

[Kiyomi]

It wasn't funny

Bitch

Don't you have cams to install?

hellz yea. tell your speed buddies to move aside so i can bring my engine in for the build asap. :D

[Shinglez]

are you kidding me... whoever thinks this is racist needs to chill

[cwp_sedan]

That was funny!!

[zzz3]

beckers was or still is a chain of convenience store's that sold their own brand of milk ...... any one know if beckers still exists?

Beckers was jokes back in the day (1995~). Pee'd my pants at the counter one time but it was all good since I was a paying customer; payed for my double bubble, read the little comic and proceeded to play some cruisin' USA...hope they have publicly accessible washrooms now.

[Default User]

I feel like hot boxing in a VW now

beckers became Mac's now didn't it.

[boyracer]

beckers became Mac's now didn't it.

Don't know...... beckers & Mac's were the two big ones, it's possible that Mac's bought them out.

+1 this is hilarious! dont see hows it comes off as racist

[ds2chan]

And instead of a vw it was a taxicab?

Lol. Now that was funny.

[Nick]

i didn't think it was racist, but then i'm not black, i assume the OP is from T&T but he didn't find it racist afterall, so izz all good

[mathew.poulos]

But Jamaicans are so angry

From what I've heard and seen there are no angry Jamaicans over this, no one can get one to come out and say yes this offends me, it's all middle age white men and women who need to be offended for a 3rd party

[Thrizzl3]

lol hilarious.

[peterm15]

it's all middle age white men and women who need to be offended for a 3rd party

So true.

[FoXy]

ya mon...

aside from being kind of dumb, it was kinda funny I guess. I think more ppl would be offended if it was some sort of other accent.

I hate when people get offended on other ppls behalf... when they didnt ask for it.

The real dudes are too busy smokin tha ganj to care... :chuckle

[Pokaroo Kris]

i didn't think it was racist, but then i'm not black, i assume the OP is from T&T but he didn't find it racist afterall, so izz all good

THAT'S RIGHT! WHAT THIS OP SAYS, GOES! :cool

[pwdunmore]

If anything it's racist to white people lmao... Love the commercial

[geobur]

beckers was or still is a chain of convenience store's that sold their own brand of milk ...... any one know if beckers still exists?

Beckers is actually Mac's Milk now...they changed their name so yes they still exist, just changed the name and logo.

*EDIT* Apparently I am dumb and commented before I finished reading the posts and other people found this out already, but Beckers was bought up by Mac's not what I said

[Flagrum_3]

What? ...So a white guy can't have a Jamaican accent? Racist....NOT, Funny....YES.

[thirdgen3]

[6strings]

Well the other day some jamaican lady screamed at me for taking too long at tim hortons. But then she apologized to me. So it was really confusing.

you mean " beige Toyota Corolla" :chuckle

[Seshan]

If that wasn't a voice over, I'm impressed. I've worked around Jamaicans for the last 5 years, and I don't think I could even come close to that.

If I recall he was born in Jamaica. I know one white Jamaican family personally and a Chinese Jamaican family.

Commercial isn't racist people just need something to get uppity aboot.

[Seshan]

Considering Jamaica is a country not a race, it's possible for all skin colours to be Jamaican. Also proves that the commercial can't be racist since Jamaicas not a race.
