It begins with an Asian man, possibly Korean, getting eyes scanned to open a door. He then takes out contacts and gets his fingers scanned to open another door. He peels some plastic off his fingers and sits down in a chair facing a computer. Takes out a Visa card and takes off a mask which reveals a foreigner. He begins to use the card on a computer but sirens go off and he is "clamped" to the chair.

relax - The same commercial is on tv in australia.


Exactly, its for an international audience; it isn't just shown in Korea. Relax man, don't read racism into everything. Do you really think VISA, an international company to say the least, would do anything that could be construed as racism? In a market as insignificant as Korea (compared to EU and USA) as well?
