The EU, Street Fighter and white femme fatales
The EU Commission put this commercial out featuring “street fighters” from China, India and Brazil that threaten and surround a white woman in Kill Bill garb (once upon a time known as Bruce Lee garb but no more). She then pulls out her Shadow Clone Jutsu and surrounds them instead. Then the group decides to sit down and have tea or crumpets or whatever it is you do in the EU. Try as I might, it’s difficult to escape the racial imagery and implications here but I suppose that’s what the creators were going for. I would say they succeeded in their effort. I mean, what European youth wouldn’t get all nationalistic seeing a single white girl take down 3 of the BRIC nations that threaten their way of life? Oh, but they left out the “R” in BRIC. I suppose the EU didn’t particularly want the Russians thinking they were anti-Russian. They just didn’t feel the same about the rest apparently.
