We all know that the United States is a racist country. I mean come on. Where else do you spend an entire month celebrating the history of just one race, have telelvision networks and magazines explicitly catering to just one race and official holidays for just one race? Yes, of course I'm talking about Black History Month, BET, Jet Magazine and Kwanzaa.

Target: McDonald's

All you have to do is watch a commercial to know that McDonald's is racist. Of course this is all implied, so how can we prove it? Well, go to their website. There is a section titled "fun" where the only fun is to be had by minorities.

365Black
This is a McDonald's initiative to have black history celebrated 365 days a year. Yes, really. In this section, you can download a commemorative 365Black screensaver and desktop wallpaper so that you can be "inspired daily". I want inspiration too. Can I have some? McHell no! You can also read about "the achievements of current African-American corporate officers". Why do these people get special recognition just because they're black when there are millions of other corporate officers out there busting their ass just as hard or harder to make a living for their family?

LoMcXimo
Tu quiero racism? OK, they give the Mexicans a much cooler page and even plug one of my favorite bands, Molotov. But still, it is racist. This page promotes a latin music tour and offers merchandise from said tour.

i am asian
Anyone who is not white, black or latino falls into this category. McDonald's throws them all together in this mish-mosh page which celebrates the Chinese New Year and "Asian and Pacific Islander American Culture". This shameful display of racism also hands out scholarships based purely on race. Here we also learn that Ronald McDonald speaks more than 25 different languages including Cantonese, Portuguese, Hindi, Tagalog and Russian. Does that mean he has an Int score of 56 or he just spent 184 skill points to be fluent? On this page we also learn that every day, McDonald's serves more than 46 million people. Or as it is put on the 365Black page, "you got served, beeyotch!". The final fun fact is that the shoe size of Ronald McDonald is 14 1/2 -- or, as Ronald likes to say, "extra long, by extra wide, by extra red." Well, you know what they say about guys with big feet. And as far as that Ronald McDonald quote goes, I don't think he was talking about his shoes.
