Ashton Kutcher really made a wrong step with this PopChips ad back in 2012. For the commercial, the very white actor put on a terrible Indian accent and brownface to pose as a Bollywood producer looking for “the most delicious thing on the planet.” The ad may have been forgotten, except for the fact that Aziz Ansari reminded us of how offensive it really was when he included it in a montage of racist portrayals of Indian people in his show “Modern Love.” PopChips then went on to promote their tortilla chips using white people playing Mexicans in sombreros. It’s all enough to put you off of the chips for life.
