An accidently racist non-racism commercial, made for a real furniture store by a couple of comedians? Is this a new trend?

No local low-budget commercials are a minute-thirty. STOP BEING PRANKED. It's not accidentally racist non-racist, you dummie. It's pointedly rediculous to get random exposure on random blogs, just like yours.
They won, we lose.

It's a read ad (this cut is for web video, not TV).
Racial consciousness continues to exist, especially (but not exclusively) in places like High Point, NC. And corny, off-key reconciliation humor is just part of the process of people dealing with it.

It's the Stranger's favorite group activity: an "Is It Racist?" free-for-all!
It looks like the standard leftist practice of injecting race into unrelated contexts, so I would think would be PC. But it goes so far as to make standard leftist practice look stupid. So perhaps it's racist because making leftism look stupid is racist. On the other hand, it is done in the service of a business. So perhaps it's racist because capitalism is racist.

@ 11,
Don't forget about the Hispanics and Aboriginal Australians! They apparently don't need discount factory seconds either!

"big Head" and that commercial in general forgot to use the word UGLY before saying black people and white people ...
In short it should have touted that UGLY black people and UGLY white people like to shop at red house...
