A Dunkin' Donuts ad for "charcoal donuts" in Thailand had to be taken down after some liberals in America amazingly managed to saw racism in a woman with a dark skin holding a donut. No Thai person complained about the ad; the entire outrage came from tens of thousands of miles away from America and Europe. Dunkin' Donuts chief executive in Thailand defended the campaign, but was eventually forced to stop the ad campaign after realizing that the horde of Westerners screaming "RACISM" couldn't be stopped.

Aaand here's the ad itself:
I personally think thereiss absolutely nothing racist in that ad, and the fact that only complaints about the ad came from some feel-good liberals on the other side of the world verifies that fact. It's unfortunate that Dunkin' Donuts had to bow down to liberal pressure, and it's even more unfortunate that nowadays a woman painted black is considered racist. "Racism" as a word is suffering inflation because of ridiculous things like this.
