Hoekstra’s Super Bowl Ad Causes Backlash
A commercial portraying a young Asian woman speaking broken English that's being run by U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra against Michigan incumbent Debbie Stabenow is bringing charges of racial insensitivity.
You may have seen the ad aired last night during the Super Bowl.
The backlash started almost immediately, as many people took to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr to voice their displeasure with the Senate hopeful. Soon after the ad aired, the YouTube video comments section for the ad was deactivated, as was the ability to give it a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". Check out the video after the jump!
