"Despite an apology from Popchips CEO, comedian Hasan Minhaj is still fuming over Ashton Kutcher&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;brownface&amp;quot; ad.\r\nLast Tuesday, a new Popchips ad campaign, &amp;quot;World Wide Lovers,&amp;quot; went viral with Kutcher portraying several characters -- including a Bollywood producer named &amp;quot;Raj.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSome viewers called the clip racist, and Minhaj agrees.\r\n&amp;quot;Maybe Popchips consciously didn&amp;apos;t want to offend minorities, but subconsciously, they knew that they could get away with clowning Indians and Asians... That&amp;apos;s the way it is now. They wouldn&amp;apos;t do that with any other ethnicity,&amp;quot; the comedian ranted in a new YouTube video posted Sunday. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a barbeque flavor of Pop Chips, why didn&amp;apos;t you make him blackfaced and Tyrone? Because you knew you&amp;apos;d get f--king buried, Popchips. That&amp;apos;s why. And you know that Asians and Indians are the new &amp;apos;clownable minority.&amp;apos; &amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPopChips CEO and Founder Keith Belling apologized on Thursday and the commercial has since been pulled.\r\n&amp;quot;We received a lot feedback about the dating campaign parody we launched today and appreciate everyone who took the time to share their point of view,&amp;quot; Belling wrote on Popchips&amp;apos; official website. &amp;quot;Our team worked hard to create a light-hearted parody featuring a variety of characters that was meant to provide a few laughs. We did not intend to offend anyone. I take full responsibility and apologize to anyone we offended.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
