Heineken is Room Salon College Girls [Uncut]the latest brand to pull a Pepsi with a tone deaf advertisement that many—including Chance the Rapper—are accusing of being racist.
The ad, which featured the tagline, "Sometimes, lighter is better," came to national attention when Chance tweeted a series of thoughts about the ad Monday. He called it "terribly racist" and raising some interesting points about whether or not its controversial nature was a marketing tool.
