Here’s a story about a Japanese airline being forced to apologize for the racial stereotyping of whites.

The All Nippon Airways commercial aired on Saturday and featured two Japanese executives talking about changing the image of the Japanese airline.

The spot ends with one of the executives wearing a blonde wig and a super large nose.

The New York Daily News reported on some of the backlash the airlines received in social media.
