A spokesman for Dunkin' Brands is apologizing for an ad featuring a woman in blackface and bright pink lipstick holding a “charcoal donut” with the tag line, “Break every rule of deliciousness." While the global spokesman said they’ll be pulling the campaign, the CEO for Dunkin' Donuts in Thailand doesn’t see anything wrong with the ads and called the brouhaha just a result of "paranoid American thinking.” "It's absolutely ridiculous," said Nadim Salhani. "We're not allowed to use black to promote our doughnuts? I don't get it. What's the big fuss?” Psst, it's racist.
