    how come they did not show a blackman and a whitewomen south african is still racism they want everybody to think that the whites look better then nonwhite

      Why is it that white people are better looking? I being a white man married to a black women think the other way and think black women are very beautyful. I just don understand why people have to put other people in a catagory. This poster is amazing they need more loke this in my opinion.

        I agree that black women are as beautiful as white, if not more so. But it would be nice to see a South African advert featuring a blsck man and a white woman. Now that would be progress.

      Come too the UK and the black girls like us white boys, and white women like some good lucking black men.

    please blacks people don,t be fools by that ad a picture tell a thousand word you are lovely black nice looking wonderful brown skinned people

    Who cares if the man is black or the woman. IMO if the women would have been white and the man black they would have perpetuated another stereotype. So if I’d have to choose between both interacial options I’d say this one is fine and the least stereotyping one when I think twice (which I shouldn’t).
    On top of it they made the white man look somewhat muscular thereby avoiding the “white rich entrepeneur/engineer with an ebony fetish”-cliché

    What’s all this nonsense about white man / black man?
    The real ad should have a hot black woman with a hot white
    woman. This way we cover all bases and no one really gives
    a crap about the men.

    RACISM IS EVERYWHERE EVEN IN MULTI RACIAL COUNTRY LIKE SINGAPORE
    IT WOULD NICE TO SEE ALL RACES IN ONE AD TOGETHER FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND FROM ALL WORKS OF LIFE

  • BEVINN
