Perhaps the message is that only thin pretty girls use Dove?
Do you understand why black face is wrong?
Wouldn't have crossed my mind, personally, but I'm also pretty race-blind. Don't watch ads, and I'm glad I've eschewed them from my life over the past decade or so.
Race, gender, cultural history all seem more a matter of circumstance to me than something I identify myself with. I feel a bit naive when it comes to dealing with folks who feel a strong attachment to these things.
I find it interesting you put cultural history on that list. How can one not identify with one's own culture? Do you consider yourself without a culture?
Obviously it worked.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.
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)
I like the photos, but I find it more interesting if most people looking at those photos would reactively think the white woman is default and not the other way around. Or is it?Do you find these images of the same woman offensive?
What's offensive about blackface? Imagine you're from another planet...
Here is the explanation I expect you are looking for.
At an early age, I realized no one could offend me unless I choose to be offended. It seemed to me to be a better idea to not go through life letting other folks offend me.
It always surprised me that many, most people don't see this as a choice. Allowing yourself to be offended by what other people do means you are letting them control your emotions, your responses, your life.
So honestly, I don't know why people allow themselves to be controlled by images.
However, understanding there are a number of people who possess less control over their feelings/thoughts, there are some things we don't do to avoid the consequences.

I think what's considered racism is really an issue of preference, and how that person is being viewed through the lens of arranged orders and designations such as the sequence of the photos and who people think the real woman is.
On the serious note I get the criticism.
This commercial is obviously racist considering how Chinese view Africans, just as Indians who view Africans:
Dove on the other hand I wouldn't view it as such.
Maybe but that's how I see it.Your idea of racism is really wrong...

there Are many snowflakes on the right. but I don't see them complaining about soap commercials or whats on the back of a cereal box.
I don't believe it was racism either.I think it's obviously racist but I'm laughing...
My brother and one of his friends imagined a garbage commercial in which his friend would walk into the shower and my white *** brother would emerge......meant as an obvious joke.......about a bull**** soap that would wash away the black....but to see a company take it seriously.
I have to run this by my brother. They were thinking it would be a great SNL sketch but this is just ****ing garbage. I cannot believe I'm seeing this. They predicted this racist garbage over twenty years ago about a soap washing away the black....
Yeah......my brother and his friends had some demented comedy. I just cannot get over the fact that an established company pulled this ****.
edit: I seriously cannot believe this ****.
