Perhaps not intentional, but a bit racist... I think it depends on the eyes who see it...

I have heard the new Geico inspired Neandrethal sit-com had to be reshot as someone said it was racist. The Neandrethals were being used as metaphors and therefore it was racist.

There could possibly be some concerns, but it's not racist. The blokes in the ad just happen to be black.

Intel apologizes:

We are sorry and are working hard to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I bet the photographer must have at least chuckled once to himself...
I didn't see that Intel has already apologized, been away on vacation in PR and chose not to waste my day reading tech/gadget blogs 
For the record, I don't think it's racist, just silly. Amazing how at some of your reactions to the threads title though

All those sprinters are black, bowed in submission to the one white man in the picture? Got to question the motives of the guy who set up that picture - reflects an "all they're good for is sport" mentality. Distinctly dodgy if you ask me
