Are the Meerkats not a bit racist?
I’m referring to the Meerkats ads in British TV, where they speak with silly Russian accents.
Don’t you think this would have been banned long ago if they used silly Indian , African or Chinese accents instead?

True meerkats come from Southern Africa. For a long time, they carried the bacteria that causes bubonic plague. Their fleas transferred to rats which took them to Europe and wiped out a large chunk of the population. Why anyone should want to buy financial or energy products from a business that uses them in its advertisements is beyond me.
