The Burger King commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl, features a young black boy who is disappointed that there is no black character on the menu. The boy asks the customer service representative if they can add a black character to the menu, and she responds with a surprised “yes.
” The boy is then shown ordering a Whopper with black ketchup, and is happy to see that it is available. The commercial ends with the boy’s mother taking a picture of him with his Whopper, and the caption reads ” Diversity is our strength .”.
The commercial has attracted a lot of criticism on social media, with many people accusing Burger King of promoting racism. However, others have argued that the commercial is simply trying to create a positive representation of black people in the media.
Regardless of the motives behind the commercial, it is clear that it has sparked a lot of discussion.
