lets not get it locked...i really want to see what people have to say

 

No, it's funny.

It would be however, if they hired white guys to play middle easterners.

 

why cant i see this? do i need adobe flash player 10?

 

Not racist. They're not poking fun at people from India. They are using Indians to present the commercial. It is slightly funny.

 

X2, nothing racist about this.

 

I love this commercial, and it works because I seriously consider metro pcs just because I watched this commercial.

This should not get locked if you guys can keep it civil. It's an ad on TV for christ's sake, if it gets locked, well that's just tarded.

 

my bad guys...this is the one i saw...i didnt know there was more than 1 so i just snagged the first one off youtube

i can see how it can be considerd racist. everytime ive ever talked to customer service they were all indian/middle eastern. but hell its funny. made me laugh. political correctness is over rated

 

still funny

 

Not racist.

 

it is pretty funny...but what if they used gangsta blacks, stereotypical asians, or those jews with the beards and curly sideburns. would it be racist then?

 

No. They are just playing on the stereotypes of whatever people they are using.

 

Them making a commercial is no different than you stereotyping jews with beards and sideburns or blacks being gangsters and stereotypical asians being stereotypical.

 

Its only racist to the people who think its racist.

 

I don't think that's racist at all.

It's not all that funny -- but it's different. So there's that.

 

so ur saying it is racist for stereotyping indians?

 

not racist.....
