It’s fucking blatant, too. White British people in the nineties/early two thousands might well have had a blind spot (not an excuse) and not realized that “Cho Chang” was as fucked up a name as it was, but I simply cannot believe that nobody noticed the only explicitly Irish character was constantly sneaking whisky and making explosions.

I remember seeing this commercial in the UK in the mid 00s.
