Metro PCS, a wireless communications company, is currently running a racist advertisement campaign.

The advertisements feature caricatures of members the South Asian community.  It presents individuals who are skilled in IT, but clueless in every other facet of life.

Though some may see these commercials as comedic, depictions like these of any race cannot be tolerated.  This is an especially important issue to stand up against because it is one of the few portrayals of South Asians in the media.   

The objective of this petition is to collect signatures of individuals who wish to express there displeasure with Metro PCS by pledging to boycott their products and services, and to stand in solidarity against this type of media marginalization.
