Because I have no idea where else to put it. Note: I'm not being racist because I know there must have been white people too but they're just are not in the clip.

Maybe it's just because I lived in this city for 5/6 years but I'm still laughing at this clip. THIS IS NEWS. Seriously. People wonder why Americans in smaller cities don't know what's going on in the world.... this is why.

Breaking news story.....Where da chicken at?

I was given a Popeye's Chicken going away party from a job once.
Chicken 'n biscuits.
The blacks of America know what's going down.
 
Ah right, it's an awkward situation because he's supporting the other team?
It just looks like he's saying he's "stuck in an awkward situation" because there are black people all around him having fun. Maybe I'm the racist. The fried chicken doesn't come into it.
 
I wasn't arguing that it is racist. It just isn't that clear to a non-Australian, non-Cricket fan that he's a lone supporter of his team in an opposition crowd. If it were a football match and he were wearing a blue jersey and all the supporters around him were wearing red it would be a much clearer message, and race wouldn't even vaguely enter the equation.
 
Presumably Australia are / were playing the West Indies around the time of the ad, and your average Australian, being the target audience, would be aware of that. It's not really aimed at people on the other side of the world who wouldn't immediately know the context.

Much like
