Criticising Call-Centers is "Racist"

The Royal Automobile Association in the State of South Australia has been told by the local advertising regulator to withdraw an advertisement they had been running for some time. The Association (which people join to have help avaiable if their car breaks down) was promoting how helpful they are and part of the message about that was to point out that they had local people answering their phones rather than having their phones answered by some call-center in India.

That was deemed "racist" and defamatory to India. Only one complaint was received about the advertisement but that was enough to cause the censors to leap into action. More details here
