Do I think Budweiser is wrong for using him in those ads? Yes I do. Perhaps white people think the world is a "miserable place" because of all the political correctness. Something tells me that most of the rest of the world would argue that racism has done a bit more to add misery to the world than political correctness. Even though I too am "white," I think I'll side with "them" on this one.
However, I honestly don't see any way that I am going to convince you that I am right here, and frankly I don't think a horse racing message board is even a very good place to get into this type of subject.
I guess it is "agree to disagree" on this subject.

Dude all I am saying is that you guys jumped on a guy for posting a stupid picture. In calling it racist you actually are part of the problem of blurring the line between actual racism and psuedo-racism. I am well aware of the evils of racism but the tendency to see things that may be in poor taste as racist just fuels the flames.
