The black girl in the ad said she did not feel a victim of racism, that she was treated well by Dove and that being very dark skinned she jumped at the chance to do the ad to represent her darker sisters as a lot companies tend to use light skinned black people
or those of mixed race. She went on to say the ad was about the product in question was for all skin types, herself having 20% dry skin. PC brigade being offended on behalf of others

Seriously I'm of a generation that remembers television in the 70's at let face it Saturday night entertainment could now be a warm up act for the BNP but things rightfully have moved on but there needs to be some common sense. If they'd of shown the white girl first someone would of moaned "Whys the black girl on second, the says black people are second best"
Call it when there is racism but don't find the minutest reason to make a case ! I would also add that in the world of advertising there is a high level compared to the demographic of this country of people of colour and mixed race couples, gays and lesbians. |

The reaction is just a part of the wave of censorship sweeping the western world.
If it sells soap, it's a good ad. If it doesn't, it's not. Those who don't like it can boycott. Although good a good proportion of them probably boycott soap already. |
