That’s not how that works. That’s almost as silly (and wrong) as those who claim merely even discussing race somehow causes people to actually be racist. Another gem is acting as if identifying or calling someone or something as racist is someone worse or “meaner” than the racist person or act. Just . . . no. This ad aside, It’s one thing if you think someone is incorrect that someone or something is racist, then say that. Say “I disagree.” But this “ugh! Everyone is so sensitive!” is b.s. “Colorblindness” is not a thing and being sensitive (and potentially incorrect) that something might be an issue doesn’t have to be a big deal except for those who find discussions of it makes them uncomfortable or find it tedious or unimportant (nice to have that choice to opt out at will— not all of us get to avoid race or class or whatever — we live with it every single day). I don’t think the ad is offensive, but I’m also not bothered that it was brought up or that OP noticed — and as someone said, too much money is spent on ads to not have every single choice being a very deliberate one. That doesn’t mean the choice was necessarily something to be upset over.[/quote]
