I don't think its racist, in that there are plenty of white people in JA that have the Carribbean accent and uses patios. The most racist thing that I see in all of this is the outrage apparently generated by the assumption that the only people in JA that uses accented JA patios are black.

Well put. All the offense I've seen about these adds seems to be from people in the states. Jamaican is a nationality, not a race. The reaction to these adds in Jamaica has been pretty good actually.]]> Ras James SNWMF Phorum 2013 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:52:11 -0800 http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,321787,321806#msg-321806 Re: Car commercial controversy http://snwmf.com/phorum/read.php?1,321787,321806#msg-321806
