KFC pulls controversial Australian commercial
According to MSNBC:
"The ad depicts a white Australian cricket fan subduing boisterous black West Indian fans by sharing his fried chicken.
"Need a tip when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" the Australian asks. "Too easy," he adds after the West Indian supporters surrounding him give up their celebrating to eat his KFC."
So. I wonder what the response would be if the guy had a bucket of burgers or pizza pies? There's just something about chicken. It's just interesting how to this day certain lines can't be crossed without being considered racist.
I don't know much about Australia other than my one of my favorite tennis grand slams takes place there and the negative history of unfair, racist treatment of aborigines and folks of color---from what I have read.

What about the Korean Ad for KFC, it's just as racist as this one.
It appears that KFC use of these type of Ads outside of the US is their common practice.
