European Union Withdraws Promotional Video After Complaints Of Racism

Youtube Link

Article said:
The European Union has withdrawn a promotional video following complaints that it was racist.

The video published on YouTube last week depicted a white woman dressed in EU yellow facing down three non-white martial arts pros.

The three men are clearly intended represent the rising economic and military power of India, Africa and China.

They aggressively approach the woman wielding a variety of weapons. But she surrounds them with 12 replicas of herself, leading the three aggressors to sit down in a pose suggesting they are ready to talk.

The yellow-costumed woman then transforms into the stars of the European Union flag.

A message appears on screen declaring that Europeans are stronger when they work together and goes on to promote the idea of EU enlargement.
After all the bks to come out of the EU, it's quite funny to see such blatant stereotyping, but why do EU make promotional videos at all? Very odd.
