A Chinese laundry commercial that aired on television and in theaters recently is making waves on social media, but not in a good way. The spot depicts a Chinese woman washing clothes when a black man, with paint splattered all over his shirt and face, enters the room and walks toward her. They lean in for a kiss when she stuffs a pod of detergent in his mouth and tosses him in the washer.
He then pops out of the washer as a Chinese man with a clean shirt.

Watch the full commercials below.
Shanghaiist points out on its blog that the concept is taken from another commercial which aired in China 9 years ago. This commercial shows an Italian woman approached by an Italian man, and he is thrown into the washer and pops back out as a black man.
With so many racialized problems over here in the states, we sometimes forget our neighbors around the world are riddled with racist attitudes as well. Â We know diversity is an issue, but really!? Shanghaiist also pointed out this problem specifically in China, where John Boyega was barely seen on the movie poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
