Wat. It's definitely supposed to be a gypsy/Romani guy. They're a nomadic culture, and they're proud of it. Definitely NOT racist.

Or a black male, if that's what he thinks all black males look like. Doesn't take too much imagination to figure out who the real racist is here. Roll

Hey, lighten up Big smile. Its a cool advet and race is indeterminate. I think you are fooled by the fact that it is black and white graphic.
I live in an area that is majority african american. To me it appears more Rom / european than african.

Loved the tune and the add made it point. +1

The Gypsy Band ad is so far my favourite part of the entire tournament.

Must've missed it. I keep the sound muted when not Kil2 or Raivi is talking tbh. One reason is the commercial sound level is way too high, gets kinda bad if I'd wake people up in the middle of the night just because of some pointless alliance advert. Another reason is I don't like Soundwave. P

Bonus points for me is I get some tanks grinded in WoT inbetween games. Woot woot!

Anyways, I'll try watch through the commercials, now that you guys point this one out. Just have to figure out a way to not blow out the speakers in the process. CCP is worse than the cabel companies that put 200% volume during commercials, what is this, over 9000%? :X

Its def racist.

I don't get the hate though. I'm starting to think that forum posters don't read what they're replying to/thier reply.

There's a good dozen people cutting at me because I don't like the ad. When I clearly stated that it was full of win.

Herp da fuckin derp.

It's not a "black dude", dude.

His name is Grga Pitic and he is gypsy baron with a large amount of money. He is OK.

And yes, he has GOLDEN tooth (check our KB logo - http://killboard.gypsyband.ru ).

Despite already having been pointed out just how fracking dumb you are.. would a dev please teleport my avatar to his captain's quarters so I can punch him in the fracking face (ingame) for this stupidity?

How can people say this is racism, do they know if the person that make this video isn't a gypsy or are they just assuming he/she is white?
