    Probably a lack of study of what is considered good and humorous in China.

    But anyway that kind of video would have maybe been offensive to Italians too

    Dolce and Gabbana are anyway known for some provocations In their commercial ads.

    Like a couple farting while exchanging their d&g clocks and then laughing

    But this time the supposed scandal to create interest in the ad went in the wrong way.

    It was offensive

    It kind of reminds me of British-Gibraltarian fashion guru John Galliano who said he thinks Jews should be sent to gas chambers. He was drunk when the private conversation happened outside a French cafe and he wasn't aware that some people were secretly video-recording his drunken private conversation with them. It wasn't a public statement and he was very drunk at the time. I don't know what transpired between them before he became angry and they started recording him.

    However, Galliano was slammed by the world media and condemned on social media, fired from designing clothes for the French fashion house Christian Dior, and he was made to appear in French courts after he was arrested and legal action was taken against him as the French authorities stated that it wasn't the first time he'd made anti-semitic statements.




    John Galliano showed his collection for Maison Martin Margiela at London Collections: Men this evening.
    It was his first comeback show in four years after he was found guilty of racist and anti-semitic abuse in 2011.

    That's not important. North Sentinel Islander culture is important:

    You learn about it and beware.

    People are too sensitive and it's not like the Chinese are known for being tactful about race.

    I would never say that to a Chinaman, though. I fear the fighting crane style.



    That's some Richmondbread type gay shit right there.

    Come at me, China.

    Supposedly the MMA guy had threats made to him for embarrassing traditional Chinese martial arts and has gone into hiding. If I was Chinese I would look at this and say to myself, "We should stop wasting our time doing silly stupid shit that doesn't work." Instead of being angry at the guy who shed light on nonsense.

    Well I m almost perfectly sure that the attempt of d&g was not a racist one. I think they misinterpreted the culture of China and underestimated that a provocation to catch attention can instead turn to unwanted racism

    While that Galliano has purposely a racist mind
