This is ridiculous. If the ad was being launched on a Kenyan website, I would fully expect the white and Asian actors to be replaced with their black counterparts. It's called marketing to your target audience. People need to quit being so hyper-sensitive, and the media should quit sensationalizing the impact of "stories" such as this.
