Cadillac disavows casting call for 'neo-Nazi' character in brand ad

General Motors Co's (GM.N) Cadillac brand on Saturday disavowed a casting notice that called for an "alt-right (neo nazi)" role in a Cadillac commercial amid a storm of outrage on social media.

The casting notice, circulated on Twitter and Facebook, said an agency was looking for "any and all real alt-right thinkers/believers" and indicated the call was for a Cadillac advertisement to be filmed later this month.

IMO the alt-right needs more positive representation in news and entertainment, I'm happy to hear Cadillac was planning on doing just that even though they chickened out.
