Jamaicans say VW's Super Bowl ad isn't racist; White Americans disagree

Jamaicans like the ad:

Everyone calling the Jamaican Super Bowl ad racist obviously no nothing about our culture. We love & endorse it.

But what do Jamaicans know?  Some white Americans insist they know better:

OMG THIS AD IS SO RACIST.

Am I the only one that thought the Jamaican accent VW ad just now was vaguely racist?

What the fuck is this shit?? Why does he have a Jamaican accent in @VW ad?? And I thought Jar Jar Binks was racist. #SuperBowl #NotBuyingIt

Maybe it is time for some people to dial down their racial-sensitivity meters a notch or two.
