the thought of racism does cross my mind when i see that commercial. The "dancing low level employee with an afro and a supply cart 'pimped' out with various car accessories" does kind of make you wonder. i don't know that i think it is meant to be racist, the commercial just seems a little weird. i am curious to see what others think as well.

on the flipside, what is wrong with showing a black man having a little fun doing his job?

what if say the carless paper cutting employee was black or whar if the guy having copier problems was black. would we be asking if the commercial was racist because it would show them in an unfavorable light? the careless black man, the stupid can't work a copier blackman, the unorganized-needs-some-organiztion-product black man?

is the commercial sexist because it has a woman who has a messy desk, our all women unorganized?
