Laundry detergent advertisements usually include kids, food stains, and satisfied moms. Qiaobi (\u4fcf\u6bd4Qi\u00e0o b\u01d0 ) Laundry Detergent`s commercial isn&#8217;t that innocent. This laundry detergent advert doesn&#8217;t include a kid or a mom, but a woman and two men: an Afro-American guy (\u9ed1\u5c0f\u4f19\u5b50H\u0113i xi\u01ceohu\u01d2zi ) and a Chinese lad (\u4e2d\u56fd\u5c0f\u4f19Zh\u014dnggu\u00f3 xi\u01ceohu\u01d2zi) . The ad starts with a beautiful Chinese gal (\u4e2d\u56fd\u7f8e\u5973Zh\u014dnggu\u00f3 m\u011bin\u01da) doing her laundry (\u6d17\u8863X\u01d0y\u012b). Then the Afro-American enters the room. With a brush in his hand and paint stains over his face and white T-shirt (T\u6064T x\u00f9), he flirts with the girl. She waves him over, and when he leans to kiss her, she thrusts a detergent capsule into his mouth and pushes him into the washing machine (\u6d17\u8863\u673aX\u01d0y\u012bj\u012b). A moment later she delightfully pulls out a clean handsome Chinese lad wearing radiant white T-shirt.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ijQqqm_PE3I\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ijQqqm_PE3I<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ijQqqm_PE3I]<\/p>\n<p>Internet users labeled the controversial ad as offensive and racist. Playing with skin colors wasn&#8217;t funny for most of the viewers and they found this ad reprehensible. Honestly, I don&#8217;t think Qiaobi company wished to hurt anyone&#8217;s feelings. But I do think they should find another way to advertise their detergent. \u00a0Like another Chinese Laundry Detergent Company did:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5093 \u82b1\u738b \u6de8\u67d4\u4e00\u5319\u9748\u6fc3\u7e2e\u6d17\u8863\u7c89 \u96fb\u8eca\u7bc7\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5PdMh7OTx3o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5PdMh7OTx3o]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Text vocabulary<\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u5e7f\u544aGu\u01cengg\u00e0o = advertisement, commercial<\/p>\n<p>\u6d17\u8863X\u01d0y\u012b = wash clothes, do the laundry<\/p>\n<p>\u6d17\u8863\u673aX\u01d0y\u012bj\u012b = washing machine<\/p>\n<p>T\u6064T x\u00f9 = T-shirt<\/p>\n<p>\u767d\u8272B\u00e1is\u00e8 = white<\/p>\n<p>\u7537\u4ebaN\u00e1n = man, male<\/p>\n<p>\u5973\u4ebaN\u01da = woman, female<\/p>\n<p>\u5c0f\u4f19\u5b50Xi\u01ceohu\u01d2zi = lad, young fellow<\/p>\n<p>\u9ed1\u4ebaH\u0113ir\u00e9n = Black people<\/p>\n<p>\u9ec4\u79cd\u4ebaHu\u00e1ngzh\u01d2ng r\u00e9n = yellow man, Asian<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Related sentences for practice<\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u8fd9\u5219\u5e7f\u544a\u5f88\u65e0\u793c<\/p>\n<p>Zh\u00e8 z\u00e9 gu\u01cengg\u00e0o h\u011bn w\u00fa l\u01d0<\/p>\n<p>This advertisement is offensive<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u4fcf\u6bd4\u5e7f\u544a\u662f\u79cd\u65cf\u4e3b\u4e49<\/p>\n<p>Qi\u00e0o b\u01d0 gu\u01cengg\u00e0o sh\u00ec zh\u01d2ngz\u00fa zh\u01d4y\u00ec<\/p>\n<p>Qiaobi advertisement is racist<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u767d\u8272\u7684\u6d17\u8863\u673a<\/p>\n<p>B\u00e1is\u00e8 de x\u01d0y\u012bj\u012b<\/p>\n<p>A white washing machine<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u4e2d\u56fd\u7f8e\u5973\u6d17\u9ed1\u8272\u7684T\u6064<\/p>\n<p>Zh\u014dnggu\u00f3 m\u011bin\u01da x\u01d0 h\u0113is\u00e8 de T x\u00f9<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful Chinese girl washes black T-shirt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2016\/07\/qiaobi-350x245.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2016\/07\/qiaobi-350x245.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2016\/07\/qiaobi.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>Last month a commercial (\u5e7f\u544aGu\u01cengg\u00e0o) for laundry detergent aired on Chinese TV and prompted outrage from people all over the world.
