Never given it a thought. It’s not as if you can’t see it on white skin!


The UK’s largest retailer Tesco is introducing a range of plasters to match different skin colours and better reflect racial and ethnic diversity.

The complaint in the old days was that plasters (and plasticine and cosmetics) described as flesh-coloured meant ... well, you see the problem.

They have made blue ones for years, after I gave them a very irate call on the matter.

I think that they are just plastering over the cracks .....

Whoever thought this one up must have been plastered at the time

Imagine feeling you were so upset about plaster colours you felt compelled to start a thread about it.

Thank God there wasn't another war in the 60s or 70s; that generation would have been offended at their own shadow.

Pineapple ....i suppose the question  is,  how popular would black plasters be among the general white population ? 



so it's all down to what people want and firms will supply if there is the demand  ...doubt there's anything racial at all about this
