America runs on racism

In a shocking move, Dunkin’ Donuts has hired Amos n’ Andy as their new executive advertising team. Living in the inner city, I can see why it may be fiscally tempting to large corporations to target a large minority population. However, this can be done in good taste as we have seen in the early 20’s by several companies:

Still, I was caught off guard when a somewhat conspicuous advertisement caught my eye in the window of a local Dunkin’ Donuts:

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watermelon and grape (and sometimes red) as much as the next guy, but Dunkin Donuts could have tried to make this pandering a bit less conspicuous.  Perhaps Watermelon and Apple, or Grape and Cherry, but no they hit you in the face with a deliciously stereotypical pair.  Get Obama on the phone, Mr. Donuts and I need to have a beer summit.
