I can't help but feel that the above campaign to get minorities to vote is quite offensive as a White man...

    Already covered in the Brexit thread. When I think something like this is stupid and heavy-handed, it probably is

  • I'm not offended, but I do think it's fucking ridiculous.

    On the flip side, it should provoke loads of hysterical nonsense here, so I've got my popcorn out

    The day the narrative of what is normal isn't aimed at white people is the day I'll care

    You've kind of ruined the thrill for me by already nailing your colors to the mast saying that even you find it stupid...

    I fear the spark has gone from out leftist outragist relationship :(

    It's racial stereotyping. Reverse the colours of the people and it would never have been released.

    If minorities are reluctant to vote how come that London now has a muslim mayor and there is an ever increasing number of MPs of Asian, Jewish and African extraction ?

    It's moronic but absolute genius in achieving it's aims of maximum publicity.

    On the news all over social media with tons of people talking about it.

    The advertising agency have achieved their aim for their client as distasteful as it is.


    No point in getting het up about it as is just a cheap trick for publicity and will blow over like romendahl in a light breeze.

    If anybody is actually offended by that then they need to man up.

    What we should do is get everybody who is eligible to vote to, well, vote.

    I am more offended when people bang on about politics then don't even vote.

    I think you're right. I doubt they'd do it with a white girl and an Pakistani man.

    So you can't be interested in politics or what happens in the country/world unless you vote?

    What about if there is nobody who represents your views? Do you still have to vote (for someone you don't want to back) in order to have an opinion?

    Either we're all allowed to get offended, or no one is allowed to get offended, which one is it fellaaaaaaaaaaaas?

    Personally, it takes a lot more than that to offend me.

    That's not quite what I meant, it was more directed at people who do have a political leaning and get upset when the opposition win (the recent mayoral elections being a prime example of people being pissed about who won yet didn't vote)

    Because Whites voted for them aswell because they were the best candidate?

    Can someone be offended on my behalf, because I've got to go out?
