I want to start off by saying Im a pretty relaxed guy and dont usually get worked up over things. However, I would like to point out the Boost Mobile commercial with the Santa Claus trying to cut down expenses by hiring mules (burros, jackasses, whichever you prefer). At first when I saw this commercial it didnt phase me but seeing over again, it clicked that Santa hired basically cheap labor= Mexicans. By saving money he had hired mules instead of the reindeer. The main mules name is Rudolfo instead of Rudolph (the red nosed reindeer).
Im only pointing this out because of the fact that there hasn't been any uproar over this. Yes I am Latino so I probably view this differently than the majority, I hope majority of people see it as I do though. I just want to point out that if Boost Mobile portrayed monkeys as the replaced reindeer with the name of Rodney people would be extremely upset. But people don't seem to phased by this obviously racist commercial. Im sure Boost Mobile meant no harm but it is perceived as being racist.
Lol it amazes me how people cannot view things from a different perspective.
I think Seasons is the only one who sort of understand where Im coming from. The purpose of this post was not to try to sue the phone company just get people thinking.
