*shrug* It's an ad. Ads always try to co-opt current events. It's one of the easiest ways to connect with the audience. And this is hardly the first time a cola company has tried to use a youth movement to sell their wares.

Instead of being all OFFENDED OMG about the "white savior" thing, how about noting the actual MAJORITY of the characters AREN'T white? Or that the ad shows the protests in an energetic, positive light? Sorry, but this just doesn't rise to the level of any kind of outrage for me. I look at it and go, "Cool, the protests are really filtering into the zeitgeist!"

I prefer an honest bastard to a duplicitous "nice guy", myself. At least you know what you're fucking dealing with.
