Heineken Removes Light Beer Ad After Accusations Of Racism

Heineken was under a lot of heat for it's latest light beer commercial.

After receiving a lot of complaints that it was insensitive and "terribly racist," the beer company decided to pull the ad.

The end of the ad finished with the tagline “Sometimes, lighter is better," before panning to the woman talking with a group of white dudes.

Chance The Rapper was one of the first to publicly call out Heineken. The 24-year-old even tweeted that he thought the advertisement was intentionally racist to stir conversation and get more views.

Heineken has also since apologized in an official statement:
