Skincare brand Nivea apologized for a cringe-worthy ad featuring the phrase "White is Purity" after it was slammed for being racially insensitive.
quote:
The uproar began after the company's Middle East Facebook page promoted a post featuring a woman with long dark hair seated on a bed with the slogan "White is Purity" beneath her.
quote:
A caption read: "Keep it clean, keep bright. Don't let anything ruin it, #Invisible."
quote:
The post was meant to promote the "Invisible for Black & White," a stain-free deodorant for use with black or white clothing. It stayed up for two days before Beiersdorf, Nivea's German-based parent company, yanked it and issued an apology

So white is cringe worthy? Man, I didn't think I was that bad. 
I need some volunteers to start a business that companies will use to ensure their ads are SJW proof, but done so in a way to subtly mock SJW's.

No they aren't ; there was and has been real action behind that train of thought that has been used to discriminate against people.
There is nothing concrete, objective, or scientific that proves "white" is pure. Same goes for any other color. That's probably hard for the easily duped to recognize
Their lotion sucks anyways
