To clarify, though others have expressed more or less the same thing: my problem with the promo material is its silly exotification of African American women (would you call an Asian character "Yellow Silk?", or refer to China's "inscrutable mysteries?"); also, the term "brown sugar" is often used by white men to describe black women in a sexualized way; as in the Rolling Stones song, circa 1978, or whenever. A different standard ought to apply in 2002.
