Dove "Whitewashes" a Black Woman...

Is this racist?

Skincare brand Dove lambasted online for ‘racist’ Facebook ad

I think obviously not the intent of the company. This was likely to show their product was used by women of all skin tones.

Would it have been better if the White woman had become Black?

Being a Company trying to please Leftist Vermin be like.

"We are terribly sorry that the back of our cereal box had a slightly darker corn-pop sweeping. this transgression will never happen again" (no seriously that actually happened)

also, can we turn them into Asian or something? because both of them ugly. no amount of dove is going to save them. like the left looks like she poked holes in your condoms and the other looks like she's the spawn of Pennywise.

How they shrink the snot out of her nose?
And make her mouth so much smaller?
And completely change her cheek bones?

Seriously?

Seriously?

You have a better explanation?

Marketing types are known for being clueless on occasion.

I'm sure the message isn't "Have tea with Hitler!".

It might not have racist intent behind it but the action is problematic.

the existence of people getting offended over this is problematic.

Advertisements are generally meant to be obnoxious and controversial. They don't advertise with sensitivity in mind. The more stupid, controversial, and irritating it is, all the better. It's intentional in my opinion.

They advertise to draw attention to their product. Obviously it works.

That's why stupidity and obnoxiousness in advertising today is the norm.

Just stay away from the oven (if it's gas).

I never thought skin tone was important myself.

I thought is was sufficient to treat folks equally.

It does seem like a rather strange ad. They could have just shown pictures of people using Dove, but someone thought up this thing with the shirt.

I would imagine it would be pretty tough to work at an ad agency where you have to come up with some new idea for selling soap.
