    I’m ashamed that I had to click on the link to see the answer. The worst part is that I’ve taken the same quiz many times before (albeit somewhat different questions) and I fail it every time. I’m just not as mc as I like to think I am. :-(

    So where were the zombies? You promised zombies, dammit!

    Have you considered that the video is a tourism promotion, and that it’s aimed at rich people who enjoy winter sports? I’m sure there are rich people of color who enjoy winter sports, but I’m also sure that they’re outnumbered by their white counterparts. If you see the skin color of all the people in the video, I’d expect some of it to be brown, but only seeing 4 people, that they were all white isn’t such a shocker.

    My guess is that they don’t want to scare away any white people.

    Ya know, I would hate to poison my reputation here . . .but for crying out loud.

    That seems to be a case of looking for something to be offended by. There were dozens of individuals in that 30 second video. How can the blogger say all of them were white..??

    And here I thought they were going to hate on those ‘awful snow machines’.

    …sigh…

    Tom, you may be right. I’m just presenting someone else’s post here, and I have no particular position on this. But it would be interesting to find the African American and/or Black skiier ads from the US.

    I’m just sayin’

    …
    Got it; not your thoughts. Which is why I referenced ‘the blogger‘.

    Still seems rather silly to me. 24 hours later; and even closer to that 20K comment.
