Interpretations.

I didn't even know Ford was black until a week ago, long after I had seen the ad. The ad to me is mainly done to paint Ford out as a sleazeball, seeing it again in light of what I know now, I still don't see any overt racism.

If this ad is overtly racist, then one can see almost ANY criticism and read racial symbolism into it.
