Not racist. Everyone go home.

Agreed. But some Americans should forgive some shit that happened in their past.

To discriminate you isn't something nice, but to KILL you is an entirely new level of barbarism. Whatever triggers war, the act of war itself is the more reprehensible than any reasons you put behind it.

I found this old program SISGen, then fed it a "depth" image with text and a pattern image of black and white gibberish. I tried some variants like using Kutaragi's head, but it was much harder to see.clearacell said:

wow you actually just used two examples of things that people DID complain about.
people complain about half naked women in ads being sexist ALL THE TIME. and the 50 cent movie poster was on the news once or twice.
it is a racist joke. anyone who thinks otherwise is just wrong. no, its not that big of a deal, but just as half naked woman selling axe is sexist, this is racist. its racist humor and i personally could care less
but for people to go "oh you're reading too much into this".. it's a white person dominating a black person as it says WHITE IS COMING. we're not reading too much into it, we're stating what is right there

There you've got it! It's clearly.. wait - What?
You guys DO realize these are both women right???
Secondly, people are going to see in these pictures what they want to see. It seems to me that recently people in America are on an anti-racism witch hunt. It doesn't matter what the true intent of the advertisement is, people see white/black and immediately begin twisting the rest into some racist fairy tale. Look how the frothing hoards jumped all over it before the whole story even came out (i.e. the rest of the advertisement).
For this reason I highly doubt Sony would release these in the states, and it has nothing to do with us somehow being more "sensitive" (in a good way) or perceptive.

this thread is over-flowing with faux-intellectualism. The image does not have to show the white person in dominance to deliver a racist message.
The series of adverts are depicting and promoting difference and strife based on race/ethnicity. It's poor form on the part of Sony.
