VOLKSWAGEN ACCUSED OF RACISM FOR SUPER BOWL AD THAT USES WHITE ACTORS WITH JAMAICAN ACCENTS

Volkswagen is under fire for their Super Bowl ad which features a white actor using a Jamaican accent.

The 60-second spot features a white man who is apparently so happy that he owns a Volkswagen that he speaks with a Jamaican accent as he tries to cheer up others in his office.

But some aren't happy with the ad which will cost the car maker $8 million to air during Sunday's game.  One critic said the ad is like blackface with voices.
