It wasn’t even an anti illegal-immigration ad. It was straight up aimed at suburbanites urging them to fight all immigration. Is this not new?

The commercial urged people to go to the website for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Which the southern poverty law center classifies as a hate group with white supremacy ties. Does reporting this to google do anything?

Always right click on these racist ads to get the video ID (stats for nerds). They try to avoid getting reported by using unlisted videos.

If I can get it to appear on desktop I will. It’s been on my phone both times I’ve seen it so far.

That's a serious loophole. @YouTube lets advertisers target mobile devices. Forcing user to screenshot and report the video following this ad is bad.
