Heineken has removed a television ad following a wave of online criticism slamming the commercial as "terribly racist."
In a 30-second ad promoting the beer company’s "Lighter is Better" campaign for its light beer, a bartender slides a bottle of beer past several customers to reach a woman in the distance.
As several people online noticed, during the commercial the beer passes by customers who are darker-skinned while the woman who receives the beer in the end is noticeably fairer-skinned.
Heineken has removed the ad from TV and online rotation and acknowledged that it “missed the mark.”
“For decades, Heineken has developed diverse marketing that shows there’s more that unites us than divides us,” a spokesperson for Heineken said in an email to NBC News. “While we feel the ad is referencing our Heineken Light beer, we missed the mark, are taking the feedback to heart and will use this to influence future campaigns."

Heineken withdrew its sponsorship of the NYC & Boston Saint Patrick’s Day Parades after deciding they were not ‘inclusive’ because of the Irish Catholic Hibernians (who organized these parades) refusal to let homos march under assorted queer banners.
They had never banned fags from marching, they simply asked that they would not make it a politically based spectacle, thereby dishonoring the great Saint’s Feast Day.
Screw Heineken, and screw the gay priders!
