It's more about having their racicsm fed to them on a silver platter, because non-whites on welfare and food stamps makes more sense to those bigoted, uneducated people.

racists are the saddest people alive, they have to fold back into something nobody controls to feel superior because their actual lives amounts to nothing

I love that it's not even welfare, it's Medicaid. The problem with this ad isn't that the guy is white, it's that we're trying harder and harder to make medical care and simply existing harder for everyone, not just the people who need these services.

Someone needs to remake this so that you find out they are working 50+ hours a week at Walmart and not able to spend time with their kid(s)

Cancelling only counts if it's a significant portion of people who like you doing it. If people who dislike you continue to do so, nothing happens.

Make an ad for ranchers, bailed out bankers, too big to fail automakers, coal industry, etc etc. This one is great though. You know you're doing it right if they're mad.
