since we are on this topic, and this is a UK add, i am interested to find out just how big of issue race is in Europe, over here it is obiously a huge part of American history, and i get bad looks from black people all the time...

I know there are a few Europians on this site, and i would really like to know, just how much is racisum part of your sociaty? how does it fuel poloticians, ect? i know my question is asked out of pure ignorance being a stupid american that has no clue of other countries history, but i dont think it could be nearly as bad over their as it is here...which is probably why sony thought it could get away with this add in the first place

It's not a UK ad but here in the UK it really isn't anywhere near the issue it is in the states. When you visit the states you feel the tension and feel the seperation. Sure there is some here as there is all over the world but it's not in the same league. The only tensions we have around here are religious in some parts of the UK. We have a lot of muslim imigrants who all go to the same places to live and the places have changed to acomodate it. People who live there don't like the way they feel forced out of their society and a lot of the muslim communities want isolation. A recent poll said that nearly a third of all British muslims want the muslim sharia law enforced over predominantly muslim areas of the UK (hands cut off for theft, death for adultery, gay people killed etc) which doesn't show a good sign of an integrated society.

This has (wrongly) lead to people in those areas to vote for the BNP, a racist (although they say they are not) party to try and stop immigration (and export non-white people). Thankfully the rest of the UK doesn't feel the same. The issue of religion and race get crossed too much. People want to criticise muslims for things they do and say, that is not a race issue yet it gets turned into one and people end up turning to the racist parties to try and sort the issue out as they are not scared to say what everyone is thinking, yet they have their own racist agendas lurking in the background.
