This advertisement was recently pulled from Australian TV for being too racist. Which is odd, because no aspect of this ad is considered racial stereotyping in Australia, and it was only pulled after it became popular on YouTube and people from other countries (particularly USA) found it offensive.

I learned that in America black people like fried chicken is a stereotype so while I was all 'wha-?' earlier now I'm all 'oh!' (PS: thanks Tony Baloni for enlightenment)

I like fried chicken. I'm about as white as it gets.

Edit: just watched the clip. It went by so quick I would never have even noticed any racial overtones if not for reading the posts about it first.

"Germans are serious about everything. Especially with regard to good manners.

Respecting another person's privacy and personal rights does not stop anywhere. In situations where any potential conflict of interests might arise, the parties concerned must always be able and willing to overcome their personal difficulties, take a step back if necessary and come to a mutually satisfying solution.

This is shown by these two decent men who give an example of two German gentlemen whose attitudes and behaviours are of the highest ethical and diplomatic standards."
