A laundry detergent ad in China seems to show a woman throwing a black man into a washing machine, and transforming him into a Chinese man. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Ben Mankiewicz, and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A Chinese laundry detergent commercial has spurred outrage online, with many social media users accusing it of blatant racism.
In the commercial for Qiaobi laundry detergent, an Asian woman shoves a detergent pod into the mouth of a black worker and unceremoniously pushes him headfirst into a washing machine.

The advertisement, which has been airing in China at least since April, has been met abroad with a combination of anger and disbelief.”
