Fuck off China.
This Italian advert is over 10 years old and it seems no-one ever complained about it.

How much negative publicity did the original Italian advert get?

Not sure, that was mentioned on the Shanghaist blog apparently, I was looking in Chinese to see what reaction had been and overwhelmingly condemned on the couple of comment threads I checked.

Unpleasant but I also condemn any number of adverts on British telly that stereotype east Asians as flying ninjas, inscrutable, zany etc etc.

Ad is Taiwanese not Chinese, I believe. (ah the narcissism of small differences)

It's a mainland brand I think.
ETA just looked and that's what the internet reckons, though more shocked Chinese-language stories about the ad from Taiwanese sources.

"Asians"?
This one of the problems of using the word "Asian" to describe a Race of People., in the UK "Asians" means Sub Continental Indian People and the like, and in the USA "Asian" mean Oriental, Chinese Japanese etc. neither of them is really correct, something like 5 different Races live in Asia.

My wife describes herself as "east Asian", so who am I to argue?

lots of different ethnic groups in siberia you seem either unaware of or to have forgotten about.
Are you? I started the thread.
The Chinese advert is very obviously a copy of the Italian advert, in both the girl rejects the Man and changes him to her sexually preferred Race, even the music is pretty similar.

Yes i am. That's how i saw the italian video posted 11 posts before yours and also managed to see the post inbetween that i replied to saying that even the italian video wasn't original and then posting a previous similar image. All before you posted the video.

yeh there's the buriat and chukchi and yakut and so on
?
I know about them, they are members of the Mongoloid Family. i was saying what a useless term "asian" is to use, because at least 5 different Races live in Asian, Oriental=Mongoloid, Indics like Indians Pakistanis etc, Caucasians like Arabs and Persians, Melanesian, and they even had "European" type people living there once.

Well done. You didn't post the first example of the italian video. I was replying to a post about the original posting of the italian video. To which you responded by posting the italian video in order to bring it to my attention. Almost like you hadn't really read the thread or my post.
Enough of this though.
