    Yes, she works for a company. Yes, she is a spokesperson for them.

    But 'cmon guys. She was having a laugh at herself. Adding a bit of humour into what she does.
    Go easy on her. Jeez.

    The world is too fucking PC these days. And, too bloody serious on top of it all.

      Whenever someone starts going off about “PC”, you just know a quality take is about to follow.

        Down vote me all you like mate, but life will be shit without a laugh or two.

        I really should have mentioned political correctness after my statement about the world being too serious. As an adjunct to that sentence… but it’s done, so…

        Anyhow, I’m not justifying any racism. I’m laughing at the same thing she was because I understand where she was coming from; and I know I’m not alone.

        I’ve had the pleasure of working in a four different countries mixing with cultures where people make fun of themselves for a laugh. It’s not uncommon in the world. The problem is some people are too sensitive.

        That’s my “quality take”.

          imagine being so exceptionally dull and un funny that your entire concept of funny depended on a good dose of racism in there to make it all go.

          racism isn’t funny. If your entire idea of humor depends on racism, your shit was never funny.

          your quality take is garbage.

            Oh for fuck’s sake! I can’t believe you’re real. You know fuck all about me, my race, or my sense of humour. You would be surprised about all three of those!

            Context doesn’t always come through with text responses. If you and I were sat across a table from each other, we’d probably be ordering another beer. Unless you’re a …, in which case the first beer would never happen!

            Lighten up mate. Take a pill or something.

              I don’t need to know shit about your race to find your fascination with racist shit gross. Context doesn’t excuse behavior that’s vile. I’d never sit down across the table with you, because you think in terms of cunts, I’d rather smash a pint over your head and being the pummeling.

              fuck off racist garbage.

      Humor is fine but I feel like saying “me love you long time” as a spokesperson for a company is a bit much.
