Is The New VW Super Bowl Ad Racist? [Video]

It appears that Volkswagen wants you to get in touch with your inner Jamaican and “get happy” (by buying a Volkswagen  of course).

In the VW ad, scheduled to broadcast Super Bowl night,  a white, Midwesterner tells his co-workers to look on the bright side all the while using a mock Jamaican accent.

While it would appear from a recent poll taken by the TODAY SHOW that most people like the spot (more than 93%), many cultural groups would like to see the ad yanked stating that the ad is culturally insensitive. Although there has been much social media backlash VW says the ad will air,

 ”There is no thought to pulling it,” says Tim Mahoney, chief product and marketing office at Volkswagen of America.
