However, I do like the color blind aspect of the white guy hitting the black guy and saying "Black one!" It's nice that it could make it into an ad and not be an issue. Though I still gotta wonder if this conversation happened... "We'll have to change the car's color!!!" "But it's a black car in the ad! Can't we change the guy's color?" "He's the only black person in the ad! We need to reach that demographic!" "Maybe we can replace him with an ethnically ambiguos guy?" "Then it will look like the two non-black guys are talking about black people!" etc.
