It's only racist if you read it that way. Reading it that way suggests a pre-occupation with matters of race. Perhaps a lack of comfort with your own or your place in the world.
To me it shows that a white PSP is about to pop onto store shelves and they really wanted you to know about it, or, someone has a fetish for bony agro albino chicks with blind hair stylists.
Where da' white women?

that ain't racist...
and second off... since stalin and hitler... europe is almost 100% left sided liberals... especially france... they cry about war and all that stuff liberals love...
I think that ad is just dumb...
I wouldn't mind boning that chick though

Since Sony is for the most part, a Japanese company (In Japan). I think they could honestly care less about europe's/ Us's sensitivity towards racial jokes...

trust me, the japanese see absolutly nothing wrong with this pic, cause they see 2 people who happen to have different complexions, which is a method to advertize a new color of psp.. They dont see some white woman telling toby to go pick cotton.
cultural differences man, most countrys are not nearly as hung up on the whole race thing as america.

But Europe tends to be much more racist towards black people than white people in America are. Did you not read the whole deal about the world cup and even in the European soccer leagues. Black players playing in Europe where being called monkey, having bannanas thrown at them, even by their own fans.

the US is probably pretty high on the list of racially tolerant nations. Most european nations are enough of a white washed culture that they're really pretty intolerant. Sure, they're all a bunch of liberal commie pinko's but they're still the people that brought slavery to the new world as a product and they've never really changed.
The banana thing was uncalled for and no matter what culture you're from it's incindiery and racist. It's also free speech and since nobody got hurt or lost money, I guess it's ok. You'd think that security would have wondered why all the white guys are bringing bananas into the stadium. What, did they think that all these people had potassium deficiencies or were they all convinced that it's indeed the perfect food and the fans were just hungry.
