It was the similarity of the image to an American stereotype that got Americans so riled up, even if they were being overly sensitive and erroneously assumed that Australian culture has the same stereotypes as American culture.  Where the people in the ad were from is totally irrelevant because racists don't care if a black person is from the West Indies or Nigeria.
