The fast-food company says the video 'does not reflect our brand values regarding diversity and inclusion'.
Burger King has removed an advertisement showing people eating a burger with giant chopsticks after it was accused of being racist.
The ad, which appeared on Instagram in New Zealand, showed diners struggling to eat the"Vietnamese Sweet Chilli Tendercrisp". It was taken down after a tweet criticising it was viewed nearly three million times and amid rising anger on social media in China. "So this is the new Burger King ad for a 'Vietnamese' burger ok coolcoolcoolcoolcool CHOPSTICKS R HILARIOUS right omg etc," posted New Zealander @mariahmocarey.
She added:"I'm so sick of racism. Of any kind. Of the kind that makes fun of different cultures, to the kind that shoots and murders those peacefully praying in their place of worship.So this is the new Burger King ad for a “Vietnamese” burger ok coolcoolcoolcoolcool CHOPSTICKS R HILARIOUS right omg etc 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
