I don't see anything wrong with this, unless you are looking to be offended by something. Pointing our the differences in someone's skin color is not racist.

All that being said, I wouldn't have wanted to use it-but it was someone tryin to be creative.

Back in the early '90s it would have been a great ad. But not in todays climate.

I also, see nothing wrong with this. I would run this ad even here in this town, after our high school mascot was forced to change from the Menomonie Indians to the Mustangs. Go Washington Redskins, I hope you never bow down.

Yeah, My alma mater changed from the Braves to the Wolves. Ridiculous.

Growing up in NYC, in an Italian neighborhood, bordered by an Irish neighborhood, we as kids were taunted constantly, each other calling the other racial slurs.

Was it right? Probably not. But it toughened us up to grow and face a challenging world.

This PC dominance is converting us into a land of pansies.

This isn't even close to a racial slur.

I don't see how it is offensive. They still sell Indian Halloween costumes
and I'm looking at my bowl of Indian corn. Creative ad, actually. People over react these days.

Simply changing Indians to natives would have eliminated any issues. It is a great ad and the ladies in costume tells the story.
