YOU WOULD THINK ITS FUNNY RIGHT

WELL LET ME HELP YOU ALONG THE WAY

WHAT IF THE WHITE PEOPLE IN THE COMMERCIAL PUT BLACK SHOE POLISH ON THEIR FACE AND DID A RAP SONG

DAMN NEAR ALL BLACKS WOULD BE IN AN UPRISING BECAUSE THEY ARE MOCKING US

WELL SOME JAMAICAN FEEL THE SAME WAY WHEN THEIR COUNTRY'S ACCENT IS MOCKED

I can tell you most Jamaicans wont be offended by this at all. We tend to not be thin skin. We also tend to not be politically correct in our thought process. We can be as offensive as the next ethnic group as a lot of people know we are very conservative a on a lot of things.
The commercial is funny, and we also dont let of things stress us.
