From the Mahalo topic page: "Australia's Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) apologized over a commercial after receiving complaints that it was racist in January 2010. The commercial featured a Caucasian cricket fan seated in the midst of West Indian cricket fans who were dancing in their seats and playing steel drums. The white man in the commercial says, "Need a tip when your stuck in an awkward situation?" He then passes the West Indian people a bucket of KFC chicken. The people around him take the fried chicken and become suddenly quiet. He then says, "Too easy." The commercial is for "KFC's Crowd Pleaser," which is a "Backyard Bucket" special including a bucket of chicken and side dishes.3 Those who were offended by the KFC commercial complained that it depicts the stereotype that black people like fried chicken."
