Band-Aid Apologizes For 100 Years Of Racist Products With Some Pretty Sweet Bi-Racial Band-Aids
Raise your hand if you had Band-Aid on your list of company that has, by today’s standards, been incidentally racist for 100 years
It’s sort of a mind fuck to think that there never has been a different flesh color bandaid ever. Or Is it, because the clear Band-Aid addressed the cost associated with multiple Band-Aids if you consider the smarter more business-minded neutral approach.
But yeah, of course, we should have all flesh-colored Band-Aids (if Band-Aid is making flesh-colored products) of all different flesh colors (within reason).
It makes perfect sense and maybe I’m still ignorant and full of the old ‘white privilege’, but I’m shocked I hadn’t thought about how weird it is, until now.
Back in 2015 there was a petition going around Sweden alleging Band-Aid was racist detailed in this now very clearly racist blog below about how that was impossible because they made ‘clear ones’.
All hail Sweden for being on the racist Band-Aid tip 5 years before the revolution.
And a good call from Banda-Aid. Inclusive is always in.
