Shame on Discover.


Discover may think this commercial is appropriate because both of these women seem to be prosperous and attractive. But it's still racist. Not all African American women fit the hip-talking "get you girl" stereotype so shamelessly shown here. How ignorant does an advertising agency have to be to not realize that this is offensive not funny?  If Discover is going to push the theme, "Talk to a Real Person" they might trying showing real people, not cartoon versions of them.
