I can see it if it is just a black woman turning into a white woman. Could then be deduced that a white woman is superior. The fact is though it is just showing different colours to show their products are universal. Don't see a problem with that.So it is just women taking their shirts off to then show a woman of a different race? Why is that racist?
Yeah, what the hell is that about?!?The before and after picture is a bit bizarre to say the least.

As I say though, many are only focusing on the black to white only.
Indeed. You can surely read anything into anything.But then if it was white to black but would that be people outraged because "white people are priority".

Whilst I can't be bothered looking at this in too much detailI am sure ( as far as I can be knowing Dove‘s campaigns ), that they are not deliberately trying to offend anyone, especially potential customers.
Whilst I can't be bothered looking at this in too much detailso will stay with the no opinion... I would just like to pick this up as not necessarily a defence. After all, you could buy shoe polish like the image, and I'm sure *they* weren't trying to deliberately offend people with that.
Anyway, as you were!

That is a bit different.. If they had a chicken skin colour version in African shops, I May be offended..;-)
Yeah and me a bit cheesy.Lucky you, I've been described as a milk bottle before.
More overplayed bullshit by sensationalist media tits looking for click bait etc. That word 'racist' will start to be demeaned altogether if it is continually overused and exaggerated. At worst this is a poorly thought out bit of marketing in the current world, that's about it really.
Or indeed, soap!!Or extremely effective, never thought I'd see a discussion about Dove on here.
Yeah, maybe clumsy advertising, but racist?
From Krakow?Do they do „White Honky Polish“ for white training shoes?
Indeed. You can surely read anything into anything.
Has it? I know nothing about that at all.It's not a one-off though is it? That company has made the same gaffe over and over again.
It's on the page you linked to!Has it? I know nothing about that at all.
Is it? Okay, will have a look.It's on the page you linked to!
But then a white woman into an Asian woman? White woman superior to black woman, Asian woman superior to white woman?Hard one this because if it had have been a white woman changing her top and turned into a black woman I doubt anyone would have battered an eyelid. However black people have spent decades if not centuries being marginalised as second best to white people so you can sort of see where the outrage has come from. Sort of.
It's racist to publish any photo of a person unless they include a black person, a white person, a brown person and an asian person.Dove apologises for 'racist' Facebook advertising campaign - Dove apologises for 'racist' Facebook advertising campaign
I read the story and at first my immediate reaction was that it was very dodgy. Black woman takes off her shirt to reveal a white woman underneath. This seems to be the ONLY thing the press have focused on.
When you see that the ad campaign though it is that of a black woman taking off her shirt and becoming a white woman and then of a white woman taking off her shirt and it being an Asian woman. Now for me that changes the complexion (no pun intended) of it completely.
