Multinational Corporations - zero awareness

[Keith]

A recent poll in the UK (in which I took part) suggests that less than 3% of the population trust the big corporate organisations.

(The sample was 2,000 of mixed demographics before you ask)

I think the result is accurate -how on earth did this get passed - is anyone in command there?

BBC News - PepsiCo forced to withdraw Mountain Dew ad

Presumably as it was a 'rapper' that wrote it (would he be black or is that racial stereotyping?) they thought it would be OK?

Not very clever.

He was described as an African American in the article so I think you are correct.
IMHO, the descriptor African American is racist and offensive, as is Native American. Aren't you all Americans no matter what colour or ethnicity?
Keith I know you are a Brit I was talking to the bulk of the forum.

It has always made me laugh Pete, when you hear on the TV etc, African American, Irish American, etc etc. They just might have fewer racial issues if they just accepted that they are all Americans.
