Anyone hear those radio commercials that advertise Uber Driving as "The Ultimate Side Hustle" using a very deep and obviously an African American voice?

Anyone else besides me think those ads are racist?

A radio commercial starring a black voice actor is now racist... why? Apparently cuz the dude SOUNDS like the black voice actor he presumably is

Calling uber a "side hustle" when using an African American voice sounds racist to me because why can't they say "extra income" or "part time job" why "side hustle"? That's street slang and to assume all African Americans talk in street slang is racist.

I think they were aiming for....coolness. not racism.

Sounds more like cultural appropriation rather than racism, although even that's a stretch.

You assuming the dude is black is racist. And stop using "African American," it's insulting.

Somehow, the "original context" = still a buncha feminazis.... and a chubby young chick trying to pander to them for approval.
