Doves Ad Racist?

Question

I'm not sure if this has been posted here or not so if it has I apologize in advance. But there are actually people defending Doves Ad saying that other people are being too sensitive. What is your opinion about the Ad? Is everyone being too sensitive or is Doves Ad actually racist. I will leave my opinion in the comments.

Answer

What in the actual fuck.

Answer

This isn't the first time they've fucked up. "For normal to deep skin" tones, to placing before and after with deep skin tone models to white ones. 
As a soap company, you should know better than to do something like this--repeatedly 🤦🏼‍♀️. There is a huge history of ads claiming white equals cleanliness and purity with blatant racism. Now it's just more subtle for the clueless masses.

It was taken out of context imo. If you watch the video, multiple women change into each other.

Answer

I’m just confused???? What was the message there?

Answer

Not racist, taken out of context, and annoying. I'm starting to feel like some black people want us to be segregated again. You try to make everything about race and pull the racist card on everything it's so annoying. We want to be equal so bad but yet you point out things to separate us. You can't see past color

who in there either mind thought this was ok.....

Answer

it shows a third, “hispanic”, woman as well, after the white woman. it was basically to say that the soap/lotion works well on “normal to dark” skin tones. i get what they were going for but the execution wasn’t very good

Answer

I want to hear their explanation. I don’t get it either. My first instinct is to be like yeah definitely racist but this seems to blatant like they can’t be serious. So before I bash I’d like to hear what they have to say

Answer

This can’t be real
