Stereotypes in Advertising

I don’t think it is right to racially stereotype for the purpose of advertising due to the fact that some group of people might be offended. To me a good advertisement is appealing to everyone in a positive light. Racism in advertisement is still an occurring issue. For example this magazine cover news-graphics-2008-_660638a This magazine cover demonstrates that Lebron is being portrayed as King Kong holding a white girl and making him seem like the aggressive one of the two.

Another example is 1.jpg The ad explains itself and how racist this appears. Saying how the ideal skin is of a white woman. I believe certain advertisers have ethical responsibilities and some do not.
