Chance went to Twitter and speculated that companies were "purposely putting out noticeably racist ads so they can get more views:"

Newsweek reached out to Heineken, and received this statement:

For decades, Heineken has developed diverse marketing that shows theres more that unites us than divides us...While we feel the ad is referencing our Heineken Light beer we missed the mark, are taking the feedback to heart and will use this to influence future campaigns.
