Soap Giant Dove Accused Of Racism – Political Correctness Run Amok

Time for more diversity training......

Soap giant Dove has landed itself in hot water after an advert for one of its products appeared to suggest it can change a user’s skin colour.

The promotion, for Dove VisibleCare Creme Body Wash – a £2.69 product that is available in Boots – features a ‘before’ and ‘after’ skin chart behind a black woman, possibly a Latina and a blonde – all wrapped in towels – standing beside each other.

The caption reads: ‘Visibly more beautiful skin from the most unexpected of places – your shower.’

But critics are in a lather over the ad, accusing Dove of implied – and albeit unintentional – racism.

Hey Dove, why not let Sad Hill handle this one? There, fixed it…
