This commercial is annoying on several levels. First of all I object to the stereotypical African-American woman, an offensive cliche too often used by advertisers. Secondly, she asks Flo, whom she didn't know, "is this what you gave to my husband." Flo answers yes. How did you she know who the woman's husband was? Did she only have one African-American customer?  Did she assume the woman could only be married to an African-American man. Not well thought-out.
