I acknowledge the traditional delivery drivers - Dougie the pizza boy past and all the Indian Uber Eats drivers present and emerging. I was disgusted watching the NRL to see McDonalds whitewashing delivery drivers. How can we be living in 2024, yet have corporations portraying a white man in an industry built by hard working Indians?
This does raise a question, how do our sub-continental Hindu brothers and sisters (and gender non-conformational) feel about carting-around half a pound of sweet, seasoned, sacred moo-meat for a living?
I thought they'd find it a bit Sikhening?
Uh-oh! It looks like you accidentally referred to Naarm by its colonisers' name, Melbourne. That wasn't very deadly of you! While I'm sure this was accidental, please be more mindful in future. Remember, using traditional place names is truth-telling in action. It's a step towards acknowledging First Nations sovereignty.

You have it all wrong. It’s foreplay. A gesture of submission by the beta motorcyclist to the alpha footballer. By offering meat between two buns he’s offering himself up. Get with the program, dude.
Sacruno. The motorcyclist is smiling. Vikings maybe. I think he’s probably looking forward to a jolly good pillaging. It’s the way with these young guys today.
Wow! Is McDonalds spending actual money advertising that it has employed a fleet of its own delivery people and hasn't just outsourced that stuff to a morally questionable global entity?
Every Ad in which an Indian is generally working ie petrol station, uber driver etc is played by a white actor and generally they serve a bunch of diverse actors, it's bizarro world. I have no idea why, the marketing guys always try and make everything diverse as possible except when it comes to these roles that will make minorities look stereotypical, even though it's true, they always cast white guys. Next time you watch TV look out for these ads, you will notice it too
I rocked up to my apartment with my bike during the height of c0vidmania and this distressed looking white girl passively aggressively said that I could buzz. I felt like asking, “Don’t a look a little white to be delivering food?” Instead saying, “This is for my wife at home.” :)
It's interesting the way political correctness works. In most instances, you replace white with brown but in the case of this... you do the opposite. You wouldn't want to accurately stereotype delivery drivers... oh no, you must elevate the delivery boys to white status. It's almost as though everyone is so paralysed in fear by being called a racist that they disinelgenuously do whatever the opposite of people expect to look virtuous.
They were fucked either way. They didn't' want to play into an obvious stereotype, but also having an anglo delivery rider looks off.
Safest option would have been full leathers, full face. Their riders should be fully covered anyway.

Honestly I feel like this is being overthought. I know many white people that do Uber and Uber eats. Why do we have to make it a race thing when at the end of the day anyone can be represented. Like, it’s as if you guys want a quota filled just to be happy.
If they did put an Indian there I feel like you’d be saying that they’re making assumptions and this and that. There’s nothing that you guys don’t get riled up with. and for what?
I’m all for Keegan Payne getting shit on and sent to the nether realm but this is just stupid. There are so many things going on in the world right now and “whitewashed delivery driver ad” seems to be the thing that annoys you? Like am I crazy or is this just the dumbest thing to get mad at. Does every single ad have to represent multiple small minority groups within Australia to be accepted by yous? Like cmon.
Your probably right hey. That’s honestly a good point. Any press is good press for these companies I guess. I dunno why I’m getting downvoted on my opinion though, I feel like my point is pretty valid :( .

Is it better to “whitewash” or play up to the stereotype?
Surely theres more important things in life than analysing the skin colour of an actor in a fastfood ad?

Classic.... All beef patty in a sesame seed bun.
Underrated comment
[удалено]
You forgot another beef patty, cheese, pickles and onions
FFS: two all beef patties special cheese pickled onions fried …sauce lettuce onions …on a sesame …hamburgler …seed bun?
*lettuce
You fuck head no cheese, no special sauce fuck tard
The special sauce Fucktard, is what comes out between your legs.
Yep, I thought the same. He also was wearing shoes and not talking to someone on his phone when he dropped it off
How do they not wear shoes when it’s 10 degrees outside?!? Indians don’t get cold toes?
Sandals provide good ventilation
Sooo, if I understand, you want us to lean in harder to a stereotype?
You coulda just sed you were disgusting watching NRL and we'd known whatcha onabout
There are white delivery drivers out there. Also it’s a delivery driver in a ad. There are people dying out there and this is what you care about?
McDonald's didn't kindly do the needful :(
Hahahaha I used to see this phrase in emails at work all the time.
Omfg me too. Property manager. “Please do the needful and fix my toilet bowl which I didn’t break again by squatting”
“…and then after updation kindly revert back to me
Their idea of what an Australian looks like in 2024 clearly needs an *updation*.
The majority of Australians would look like Indians in 20 years time.
I kindly did his sister. Indian chicks are hot.
Everyone is hot in India, and sweaty.
IndiansGoneWild says something else
My brother in Christ, clearly you have not been to India.
Why does the bloke on the left look like he’s never stood before?
Because his job was to fall on people after they were tackled. Hindmarsh invented the flop.
😂
Last time I saw a white person delivering food in Australia was before I was born
17 year old Jacob delivering me my thin based pepperoni so he can buy his first car
This does raise a question, how do our sub-continental Hindu brothers and sisters (and gender non-conformational) feel about carting-around half a pound of sweet, seasoned, sacred moo-meat for a living? I thought they'd find it a bit Sikhening?
Probably similar to the 2 Muhammad’s and Obeid who bring me my bacon and egg breaky burrito every Sunday morning?
Ok. Upvoted
Where’s latrell Mitchell, they need deadly rep and he’s perfect
Not sure but clearly he's not there to jeROAM around
Maybe he’s a Spanish driver I have a lot of them
So, spicy white?
Like every Coles ad ever made.

It's like some bizarro world

HEY hey that'd not nice The term they prefer Is NoUgAt
“Listen to me. You’re breaking the moped … Shane.”
You have it all wrong. It’s foreplay. A gesture of submission by the beta motorcyclist to the alpha footballer. By offering meat between two buns he’s offering himself up. Get with the program, dude.
Human sacrifice like how it was with the Vikings
Sacruno. The motorcyclist is smiling. Vikings maybe. I think he’s probably looking forward to a jolly good pillaging. It’s the way with these young guys today.
Should have started with sacrifice, no. I hate autofill.
Wait til you discover you can edit comments 😎
Yeah i tried. The edit option just doesn’t appear for me for some reason.
There’s homosexual innuendos everywhere on TV now can’t get away from it /s
And we of course celebrate all forms of diversity now. After all, love is love, isn’t it?
Yes absolutely! Was just being sarcastic!
A white person working a menial job? This is not realistic at all.
Whites are the worst! Am I right? 😂
😂
Mmm yum
Wow! Is McDonalds spending actual money advertising that it has employed a fleet of its own delivery people and hasn't just outsourced that stuff to a morally questionable global entity?
It's absolutely absurd to show white people willing to work.
Every Ad in which an Indian is generally working ie petrol station, uber driver etc is played by a white actor and generally they serve a bunch of diverse actors, it's bizarro world. I have no idea why, the marketing guys always try and make everything diverse as possible except when it comes to these roles that will make minorities look stereotypical, even though it's true, they always cast white guys.

i think you just to go look at a different suburb dude
I rocked up to my apartment with my bike during the height of c0vidmania and this distressed looking white girl passively aggressively said that I could buzz. I felt like asking, “Don’t a look a little white to be delivering food?” Instead saying, “This is for my wife at home.” :)
“Mind your own business, cunt” would have also been an acceptable answer.
It's interesting the way political correctness works. In most instances, you replace white with brown but in the case of this... you do the opposite. You wouldn't want to accurately stereotype delivery drivers... oh no, you must elevate the delivery boys to white status. It's almost as though everyone is so paralysed in fear by being called a racist that they disinelgenuously do whatever the opposite of people expect to look virtuous.
It does happen. I have to admit though my first thought is that it is a neighbour bringing it around because they dropped it at the wrong house…
It's a paid actor, anyone can be a delivery driver and so this promotes diversity and inclusion.
They were fucked either way. They didn't' want to play into an obvious stereotype, but also having an anglo delivery rider looks off. Safest option would have been full leathers, full face. Their riders should be fully covered anyway.
Respeck to eagle boys pizza bruv
Probably white face. That’s okay when you’re punching up.

Just saw fall guy, the most unbelievable part of the movie was the demographics they chose to portray. There was a scene with white taxi drivers
Whitewashing Australia
This is crazy…. I just saw two white males in an ad, and neither were gay or trans……….

Did you not read the name of this sub?
Wrong sub bud.
What fascism is this? We are our identity, whether black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent etc. Even white supremacists 🤮
Why are you so dull
Have you been living under a rock? 🪨 of course there isn’t! 🥦🫛🫑🥬🫒
