'Racist' German advertisement infuriates women in SouthKorea
SEOUL - A German advertisement showing an Asian woman getting aroused after smelling dirty laundry worn by white men has fuelled anger in Seoul, with many women calling it racist and demanding an apology.
The ad then cuts to a grey, industrial city that resembles Tokyo, where an Asian woman buys a bag of dirty clothes - previously worn by the men - opens it and moans with pleasure, as the commercial ends with a slogan saying:"That's how the spring smells". The German firm has defended the commercial, tweeting that it was not"racist" and showed the"decreasing quality of life in cities".
