Sony PSP ad racist?

(click image to enlarge)

Here's a rather bizarre ad for the Sony PSP which some in the online gaming community are claiming is racist.

Personally, I'm not sure what to make of it, though I do find the idea of a really hot white chick choking the shit out of a black person strangely erotic. Don't read into that one too much, or you might get burned by the molten lava.

I couldn't make out whether the black person pictured in the ad is a man or a woman, which should serve as evidence to any black women reading this that the "skee ball" is decidedly not a good loook.

What do you bags think? Is that a man or a woman? Is this ad racist?
