        Just my opinion,I doubt they were implying racism. White is associated w/nature and all things pure. Not skin tone.http://www.color-meanings.com/white-color-meaning-the-color-white/ …

        White = all things pure is where things get racist. Black is evil, white pure. You're right & that's also part of problem.

        I just meant it was my opinion they were meaning pure, as in no chemicals, artificial junk, etc in the lotion. I wasn't trying to offend.

        No, not at all, sorry if I came off that way. I agree that's what they meant, it just prob wasn't a great idea bc of those connotations.

        Why would lotion need to message white is purity? I'd normally agree with you but this seems needlessly inflammatory. Bad decision.

        White has been associated to purity for millennia, is just cultural...

        This commercial wasn't in another country. I think it wasn't a smart move when you are trying to get people to buy your product, clearly.

        I do agree it's cultural. That's why In THIS culture, it wasn't wise.

        this is what drives people away from liberalism and towards Donald Trump.
