An online advertisement featuring Ashton Kutcher as an Indian man has been pulled offline after viewers called it racist.
The images and video for Popchips feature the Two And a Half Men star, 34, in brown make-up portraying a Bollywood producer named Raj who is "looking for love". They were removed from YouTube and Facebook after being criticised online.
Other videos featuring Kutcher as a stoner, a tattooed Southerner and a pasty fashionista continue to remain online.
A spokesperson for Popchips says the dating parody featuring the four characters was "created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone". She added that the company hopes "people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended".
