The MOST embarrassing culturally insensitive advert I have ever seen

Explain why. A man repeats a catchphrase several times in a funny voice . The part could just as easily be played by someone of a different ethnicity using the same voice, or an Asian using a preposterously American, or German, or English voice.
The bottom line is simple and effective, and could be passed accross by any ethnicity, in any accent. Use thirty seconds, apply it, it's done.
The advert would be annoying, simplistic and repetitive if the same script were presented in any style. If you choose to dislike it because of the ethnic content, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on which race could use that script and not appear stupid.

It's culturally insensitive, rude and very unfair to asian people, who should not be taken advantage of in such a manner. Any nationality could be used for that advert. They should save the asian people for the bad driving aderts!!!! ;D ;D ;D It's hilarious, when did kiwis forget to how to laugh!

On a similar note, this pop up ad was at the top of this page. Now, can someone explain to me how you can have an interracial single? Aren't we all "interracial". I know I am a real 'melting pot', but I'm sure that's not what they mean.
