A bizarre, racist video promoting Volkswagen's new Golf 8 made its way to the company's Instagram page.
A bizarre, racist video promoting Volkswagen's new Golf 8 made its way to the company's Instagram page ... so the German car company's saying sorry for what it calls an"insult to every decent person."
That translates from French to the Little Colonist or Little Settler. It's also been pointed out that the first letters appearing on the screen spell out a German word often used as a slur. So yeah ... pretty freakin' racist. They add ..."On behalf of Volkswagen AG, we apologize to the public at large for this film. And we apologize in particular to those who feel personally hurt by the racist content because of their own history."
