Synopsis<\/a>: Caucasian man, flying to\/from presumably Korea calls flight attendant over to ask if there\u2019s anything he can be given to deal with back pain.\u00a0 Korean flight attendant suggests Bayer in perfect, accent-less English, to which man immediately shoots down as he explains that he is not having a heart attack, but back pain, furthermore goes to stand up and pantomime how much his back hurts.\u00a0 Flight attendant elaborates that it\u2019s Bayer\u00a0Back and Body Pain<\/em>, and when she checks back with him upon completion of the flight, he\u2019s seemingly amazed that he does in fact feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n The bottom line is, the commercial is kind of racist.\u00a0 Or at least the way the scenario pans out, it really portrays whitey as na\u00efve honky who immediately dismisses the sounds coming out of a Korean woman\u2019s mouth as gibberish, as if there\u2019s no possible way that this chink could be speaking in\u00a0his<\/em>\u00a0native tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whitey comes off as a whiny pussy who can\u2019t deal with a little bit of back pain, condescending, in the way he has to get up and pantomime his back pain as if the words coming from his mouth couldn\u2019t possibly get the point across adequately enough, and of course racist in the manner in which he\u2019s speaking to a foreigner like she\u2019s an idiot despite both their capabilities to speak English.<\/span><\/p>\n Ironically, this has happened to me on more than one instance, like when I was at a drive-thru with a white friend; despite the fact that I\u2019m speaking clear English to the black girl at the window, she stares at me dumbfounded, and immediately looks past me to my friend who essentially repeats the exact same thing, but actually gets some confirmation of understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, I know my eyes are slanty, and my skin is kind of yellow, but rest assured, I was born in the United States, and I do speak English.\u00a0 And as hard as it may be to fathom, there are thousands more like me, too.<\/span><\/p>\n Allegedly, there was once an original version of this commercial where the flight attendant addresses him in Korean first, to which serves as the impetus for his overacting so he can get some aspirin, but it\u2019s really not like it makes it any better.\u00a0 Either it\u2019s the fault of the editors to cut it to make whitey look more like a bigot, or it doesn\u2019t change the fact that once the flight attendant switches to English, he still acts as if she\u2019s ching-chonging away at him.<\/span><\/p>\n Doesn\u2019t matter, racist commercial is still racist, and it\u2019s a stupid commercial.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Synopsis: Caucasian man, flying to\/from presumably Korea calls flight attendant over to ask if there\u2019s anything he can be given to deal with back pain.\u00a0 Korean flight attendant suggests Bayer in perfect, accent-less English, to which man immediately shoots down as he explains that he is not having a heart attack, but back pain, furthermore … Continue reading Man, What A Stupid Commercial #016<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[15,89,84],"class_list":["post-40168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-og","tag-racism","tag-stupid-commercial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40168"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40170,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40168\/revisions\/40170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
