Burger King has removed an ad for it’s new “Vietnamese Sweet Chili Tendercrisp” burger after many found it to be racist. The commercial shows Burger King customers eating their burgers with huge red Vietnamese chopsticks. Twitter user @mariahmocarey was not amused with the commercial and posted it to her account. “So this is the new Burger King ad for a “Vietnamese” burger ok coolcoolcoolcooolcool CHOPSTICKS R HILARIOUS right omg etc,” she wrote. The tweet went viral and many people called out Burger King for being culturally insensitive for its caricature take on Vietnamese culture. Part of the ad can be seen below, but when it first dropped it had the caption, “Take your taste buds all the way to Ho Chi Minh City.”

@mariahmocarey, a Korean New Zealander University of Waikato student, whose name is Maria Mo continued her diatribe on Twitter. “This is how Asians eeeeeat,” she wrote. “Orientalism is harmless funnn… I’m so sick of racism. Of any kind. Of the kind that makes fun of different cultures, to the kind that shoots and murders those peacefully praying in their place of worship. Say no to every single manifestation of it. #GiveNothingtoRacism.”

Twitter user @squishybin wrote, “no one uses giant chopsticks to eat a sandwich. it’s stereotypical and YES it’s RACIST and if you don’t think so YOURE PROBABLY RACIST”

Although most people agreed with Maria, many thought there was nothing wrong with the ad. Twitter user @AidanYamani wrote, “The ad is quite lame yes but it is not racist. Vietnamese people do eat with chopsticks. it’s a part of their culture. It’s not making fun of Vietnamese people in any way. We “minorities” need to relax and stop being so paranoid about things that are only in our imaginations.”

While @dexqyen wrote, “I didn’t really thought of racist when I watched this tbh. I thought it was funny…”

Now after all that backlash, Burger King has removed all of its ads for the “Vietnamese Sweet Chilli Tendercrisp,” according to Newshub.

According to the Washington Post, Burger King issued an apology. “The ad in question is insensitive and does not reflect our brand valued regarding diversity and inclusion. We have asked our franchises in New Zealand to remove the ad immediately.”

This isn’t the first time a company got in trouble for using chopsticks. Dolce & Gabbana got into huge trouble with Chinese citizens when they put up a commercial promoting their show in China. The ad showed a caricature Chinese woman using chopsticks struggling to eat Italian food. People were upset with the insensitive commercial but it got worse when text messages by Gabbana were released insulting the Chinese. “Ignorant Dirty Smelling Mafia”, “the country of sh**,” he texted along with other insults. D&G had to cancel the show and has yet to recover their sales in China.

Luckily, Burger King had no text messages released like Dolce & Gabbana showing how racist they were. People accepted the apology and chalked it up to a simple mistake.
