Ah, Sony, always trying to keep the white man down!

Seriously, though I thought this was funny, it's satire. Racism isn't cool. Then again, neither is Sony.

D'oh! Sorry, both! I was looking for reviews of the Buick Allure/Lacrosse at the same time I found this other video. I must have copied the wrong link by accident. Here's the one I meant to post (I'll change it in my initial post, too):

Me neither, but you have to be careful with satire - it's highly subjective to the various perspectives of the audience.

It seems a caucassian racism is taken not as seriously as against other races so more is gotten away with.

Racism isn't cool, but I think you're far over reacting. That's not racism.

The skit appeals to both racists and non-racists for different reasons. This is genius marketing or, if you think like me and are of the opinion that marketing people are not capable of even coming close to genius, this is a fluke.
