Anyone else see those terrible Lyft commercials lately?
Totally racist! So far there's three of them, and they all play upon false stereotypes of black males.
Let's review them in detail:
1. Black dude can't say "hello"
Here we have a black dude in the back seat who's unable to conceive how to use a common hand gesture of waving to say hello.
This one's probably the weirdest of the bunch, as it makes me feel like the Lyft service is only for weird/weird black dudes
2. Black/Sorta black dude running late
Here's another stereotype that black males are always late. Therefore they all assume that they need a driving service to get them to work on time.
3. Black dude jamming in backseat
Here's another stereotype that all black dudes enjoy jammin to their Beats headphones and rap/ R&B music
Overall they all assume that black males are too cheap/poor to afford their own vehicle.
Seriously tho, these ads are just cheesy and lame. Somebody's gotta put an end to this crap
