It's a "spit-take." A comedy tradition for at least a century.

Johnny Carson's Tonight Show was often a showcase.

It’s not a harmless “spit-take” when it’s done 3 times in a short ad. That’s normalizing spitting in white folks’ faces.

Ok, once, twice—maybe, but three times? And why in somebody’s face? Why not on the table in front of him?

Exactly. I don’t see any racism in this commercial.
