I didn't know where to start this thread, but thought I'd do it here. There are allegations that KFC has made racist ads in Australia stereotyping blacks as unruly being pacified by chicken. These cricket ads were being played in the recent West Indies series versus Australia. TYT (Youtube channel/partners) have commented on them and you can see below:
YouTube - Racist KFC Ad in Australia
YouTube - Australia Comes After TYT On Racist KFC Ad
I've already responded there several times trying to give the Americans some context but it seems like they just don't get how it is simply not racist to us nor that it was not meant to be racist. It's an aussie fan in a rival fan's section and is nervous because of it. He gives chicken to save himself from any supposed wrath and they become friends.
I thought I'd ask people here who not only follow cricket but are from different countries to give their two cents. Do TYT have a case, or are they just oblivious and without the facts?
