POLL: Is this Mary J. Blige Burger King ad racist?

Share

A new Burger King ad that features R&B icon Mary J. Blige singing about a crispy chicken wrap has critics in an uproar. Nevermind that the video was released prematurely — people are calling the ad racist, because it supposedly reinforces old African-American stereotypes. What, you mean to tell me that all black people don't eat fried chicken? I thought they did!!! Just kidding. The only thing wrong with this ad is the fact that a Grammy Award-winning singer is crooning on about ranch dressing and a flour tortilla. That's why it's dumb.
