Heineken has removed a commercial for its light beer after it received some complaints that it was racist.
Hip-hop star Chance the Rapper said he thought the advert was intentionally provocative to stir conversation and get more views.
I think some companies are purposely putting out noticably racist ads so they can get more views. And that shit racist/bogus so I guess I shouldn’t help by posting about it. But 😂 I gotta just say tho. The “sometimes lighter is better” Hienekin commercial is terribly racist omg
