Acura Apologizes For Racial Casting Call
Acura NSX Super Bowl Commercial -- Only Light-Skinned Blacks Need Apply | TMZ.com: "You know that Acura commercial with Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno that aired during the Super Bowl -- well, we got hold of the casting call document, and they were very specific/exclusionary about their dream African American car dealer.
According to the casting doc, the role of African American car dealer would be played by a "Nice looking, friendly, Not too dark" African American car dealer.
Acura just apologized for the wording in the casting call document -- claiming, "We apologize to anyone offended by the language."
