Racism in Instagram Car Ad

Background Information
This 10-second Instagram ad was created by Voltage, an arm of advertising agency DDB that's responsible solely for Volkswagen marketing. VW ran a (now deleted) 10-second clip on Instagram, promoting its new Golf. The ad followed an interracial couple in Argentina and mimicked the style of a recent Tik Tok trend. But the use of a giant white hand flicking a darker-skinned figure away from its car and into a cafe sparked outrage and disbelief – especially because the café name translates into German as 'Little Coloniser'.
