Is this Gap advert racist?

well when there isn't so much real racism to complain about the SJWs have to start arguments over 'issues' that only exist in their heads
 
Of course it isn't but just political correctness or whatever else you want to call it gone mad.
 
The black girl has obviously been photo shopped into the image to cause controversy

Also, what does Trump have to say about this key issue that devides a nation?

Reshoot the ad and have the tall white girl kneeling down whilst the black girl puts her elbow on her head. Fixed and not a single **** give that the black girl is leaning on a white one.

I can only assume that some peoples job is to find things to be offended about.

That is literally true, since some of them get paid to write about being offended and to try to make everyone in the "wrong" biological group have psychological problems due to being constantly told they are inherently wrong and bad because of their sex, skin colour or whatever other biological characteristic is being targeted.

I find it more offensive that they put the Australian child upside down.

but there's no boys so it's definitely sexist.

Sexism sells.

It's OK, though. A person speaking for Gap about how they empower girls, etc, etc, threw a scrap of attention to boys. Two whole lip service words tucked away in brackets as an aside! "Males" should be grateful for getting the scraps from the table. It's not like they're people.

Something that does stand out to me: how awesome is that girl doing a handstand and crossing her legs? I can't imagine how the hell she stays up (really hoping she's not propped!).

Practice and talent. It's a difficult feat of balance, not an impossible one. Impressive, but not superhuman.

EDIT: Take a look on Youtube for sportakrobatik. I'll give a link to an example rather than embedding it because this isn't the Youtube thread:


They dancified it for show, but there's some really impressive combinations of strength, flexibility and balance in it.

Such nonsense. Racism, and all other nonsense that comes with it needs to die out. Much like religion. The world will be a better place.

The most racist thing about this is that people find it racist. They are actively looking for it.

They are also defining people by what they regard as "race" and making judgements (including negative ones) based solely on their own ideas about "race". Which is pretty much the definition of racism.

The most plausible explanation for the poses in that picture is the obvious and simple one - height. To someone who (unlike the devoutly offended) doesn't define people by "race", there's nothing bad about the picture. But lack of racism is racist, don't ya know?
