Heineken, in response to allegations of racism, has pulled its “lighter is better” ad promoting the beer giant’s Heineken Light from TV and internet spots.

The ad shows a bartender sliding a beer down a bar past three people who are all black. The beer then stops in front of a lighter-skinned woman after displaying the words “Sometimes, lighter is better” on the screen.

The ad has been removed from Heineken’s HEINY, -0.87% HNK1, +0.39% HEIA, -0.57% official channels but has been re-posted by others:

Naturally, the internet went into a fury upon viewing the ad — both in support of and against Heineken.

Singer-songwriter Chance the Rapper, whose offstage name is Chancelor Jonathan Bennett, suggested that ad agencies could be intentionally putting out racist ads to get more people talking about them.

Heineken isn’t the only company to get in hot water recently over marketing perceived as racist.

And Dove was forced to apologize after releasing a video that showed a black woman taking off a top to reveal a white woman underneath.
