This is a really dangerous question.

Whilst I understand that you are trying to do research, this is a minefield that I am not surprised that nobody wants to respond to.

Carling Black Label by PhibaOptik

Isn't a "label" like a stereotype... and then to add "black" to it.. then the television ads only show black dudes engaging in manual labour..

does that mean the beer is for black men in construction ONLY?? are there no whites in construction? or coloureds?

maybe it's because of the name...

i think it's racist as hell..

Everyone should just chill!

Apartheid came and now it's gone and in order for S.A. to really be a rainbow nation and move on we should stop B****ing about this racist issue. We can't keep looking for the racism in everything. Learn to laugh at yourself people and learn to see the humour & fun in the ads.

All we hear about in the news nowdays is the terrible crime & corruption cases that drag on forever.
Relax S.A. & let the ads entertain you!!

As they say.. Laughter is the best medicine :)
