"We understand public outrage at this. Because we are also appalled. This video is an insult to all the achievements of the civil rights movement. It is an insult to every decent person" This is how forceful they have been from Volkswagen after the blunder they have made with an announcement about the new Golf.
The video, of just 10 seconds and that was broadcast through Instragram, has already been removed from the social network.
In it, you can see a black person who approaches to see a car and is pushed by a giant hand to the door of a cafe that, to make matters worse, is called Petil Colon (small settler, in French). In addition, Internet users assure that, at a given moment, the letter game with which the phrase 'Der Neu Golf' (the new Golf) is formed remains in one word: Neger, or black derogatory in German .
