I'm trying not to be cynical but have just noticed that a new Pizza Hut advert features a black family.

I don't know how long its been running but I have only noticed it since they were accused of racism following a visit by some Bournemouth players!

Has anyone else noticed it before this week or has our awareness of Pizza Huts all inclusive policy just been piqued by the recent events?

I'd guess the people that create the adverts aren't the same people that discriminate by skin colour in the actual Pizza Huts.

This advert has been on the TV for a few months.
But I know what you mean about often noticing something because of something else entirely unconnected.

Aah, just proves that you only notice adverts if the product is of interest to you!

It is so rare to spot a black, Asian, vulcan family in an advert that it caught my eye.

To be fair, it may not have been a skin colour thing. Imagine it, a gang of young guys come in acting the fool (harmless) like they do. Now it was a bit of a knee jerk reaction and deffo not called for but maybe just maybe, not racial

Woof, I fully accept your point - I was just wondering if this was a rather gauche attempt by PH to prove that 'all' are welcome.
