Its always “whitey” that smacked or hit on TV. When commercials are so politically correct and blatant, they need to be called out. Have a white couple throw a can and knock out a black woman....see what happens.

Huge Pepsi mistake but for a different reason. It was so blatantly PC that we were left with an impression of an attack not on whites but on people of color i.e., hitting the white gal with the can AND hustling away from her when she was in pain on the ground is demeaning to blacks and Pepsi's perception of their expected behavior.

In today's America, I believe that the black woman would run to the aid of her sister and apologize mentioning that 'guys will be guys.' It would have been a superb moment for race relations and Pepsi.

Blacks should have been offended by that ad even more than whites, because it reinforces negative stereotypes about them.
