WeBuyCars in hot water over “anti-Afrikaner” advert

WeBuyCars is facing backlash over a recent advert that pokes fun at the US Afrikaner refugee programme.

Andrea Shea, one of the individuals who moved to America, said the WeBuyCars advertisement was tasteless and disrespectful towards Afrikaners.

Me thinks someone went out of their way to be a victim. Why would you care what we buy cars are saying when you got out?

Talk about victim mentality

 

[Carl_Johnson]

The advert is actually very boring. I however did not get the sense of it being "anti-afrikaner".

Snowflakes.... fokken sneeu fokken vlokkies

Most of the comments on the commercial’s YouTube page are also critical. “Imagine using the fear of being murdered in your own home to make a joke. Screw you guys,” reads one comment.

Nothing wrong with the ad. It's no different from other old ads.

True. This one is relevant again lol:

Nando’s early ads were great. Everyone hates watching ads so doing something that causes a bit of controversy is a good way to get views.

Don’t see what’s offensive about this though. Probably why it took a month before the fake outrage reached the news.

I have zero issue with the ad.

Sadly nandos can't do this ad now........giving the current state of the country, it is funny.....

its amazing how many free speech absolutist sudden become snowflakes when It ain't right BS that they feel is under threat

 

[airborne]

Seems pretty tame, poking a little bit of fun at the situation.

 

[Rumple4skin]

Ag jir can these people just get a life. The "refugees" deserve to be made fun of.

Saw some attention seeking refugee family showing up on my FB newsfeed, being overly dramatic about leaving with a dumb self-made video, as if anyone asked or cares.

 

[Wut]

Not surprised at all that the racist wanker Renaldo Gouws has an issue with it

 

[Cius]

Not sure what the fuss is about. Seemed to poke more fun at Trump than anything else.

People only want free speech, when it's their speech and everyone elses follows their ideas. As soon as it's something different it's no longer wanted.

Yeah. He's becoming an ******* of late. Was a fan of his now I'm liking his content less and less.
