Intel Corp. pulls ad that many consider racist. Are critics over reacting?


Intel Corp., the maker of the Intel chips, more recently the core 2 duo chip that blazes through apps. on my VAIO laptop, has pulled the ad shown above because many complained that it was racist.

I seem to miss something here, are critics over reacting? Can anyone enlighten me on this?
