Genuinely curious Nandos was founded in South Africa so the casting is fun and on brand in a way? Genuinely curious how this is racist?

It’s racist because they cast a black man speaking in his natural accent. Fug Me… Bite!

How the agency has managed to align this (alleged) strategy with this creative is interesting, to say the least. FML there is a leap and half there.
I think the whole thing is pretty all over the place.

Dolmio literally had ethnic stereotypes as puppets gesticulating wildly and slurping pasta sauce and no one said s***. This guy is South African AND the musical artist. It’s way more respectful to have him represent his country than a puppet with a fake accent.

Randomly calling something racist doesn’t actually make is racist

Nuance and self awareness?

I don’t know what you mean.

Self awareness about what?

It was a black character in an ad.

Same as this

Honestly, let’s not pretend people slamming this aren’t doing it because it’s from a competing agency

Old spice had nuance and self awareness. This has the nuance of a rusty blunt knife.

Imagine how the actor must’ve felt when being given the director’s note: ‘love it love it. We just need you to make fun of your entire culture and country. Like a lot more. Action!’

Racist? For charactering a black man?

So, you want him not to be black – or not to be a character?

Was the Old Spice ad racist? He was black and a character.

Please, folk love to stick the knife in as deep as they can eh

@ it’s a start

Spot on. Rich white South Africans own the business and they are using a caricature of a black South African to flog chicken here.

It would be like using a stereotype of an indigenous Australian to sell Fosters in the UK.

This isn’t being woke, it’s just self-evident.

It’s not common knowledge that nandos originated from South Africa. But did anyone else nerd up and research the board of directors? Optics are not good.

But it’s not racist either
