South Korea didn't take it lightly when an advertisement produced by German DIY -store chain Hornbach showed an Asian woman gets aroused after smelling dirty laundry worn by white men. An online petition has asked for a public apology with 1,000 signatures on it. Users have also criticised the German firm online for stereotyping Asian women. Hornbach, however, defended the ad and said that it isn't racist.
