Can someone explain the controversy around the new Pepsi advert?

[ILKA]

Hello, as we have all seen, memes have sprouted everywhere due to the pepsi advert, but can someone explain why the advert is so ridiculed?

[Zireth]

looks like they promoted the unpopular opinion of diversity in America....

its says 'why' in the first paragraph and the first article I read on the subject.

I think people are struggling with a lack of understanding of the difference between 'dont agree' and 'dont understand'.
I think everyone here understands the why, they might not agree with it, but they understand it. Gettting that much right might be a helpful life skill

the police can't brutalize you at checkpoints if you are holding a pepsi.

police:

come out with your hands up and drop the pepsi!

They will if you hold a RC Cola.

Police brutality is a load of garbage, yes, there are genuine cases, but the majority of the time, its over-exaggerated ♥♥♥♥ based on a few media stories

I love Mountain Dew, but the CEO is really stupid. Her profits dropped when she basically gave the finger to people that like President Trump and now she is basically bringing soda to politics. I don't care at all about politics, but I'm not sure what the CEO knows about going hungry, being homeless and without money, with seeing how she is a rich old woman that probably was groomed to be a spoiled brat as a young teen.

You can't solve very serious world issues by giving people Pepsi. I bet there follow up for this commercial was to give Assad Pepsi cause why not
