Controversy: These ads portray a white woman grabbing a black woman by the face. Critics obviously attacked the racial insensitivity of the ads, claiming that the white woman dominating over the black woman was racially inappropriate. Sony defended the ads, claiming that they was no issue of race, but they were merely trying to highlight the contrast.
Verdict: If they were just trying to highlight the contrast, they could have put the two people side by side. In fact, that might have been a better representation. Having the white woman being the strong, domineering one in the picture is just racist.
Grade: F
