  • Calling me racist for factually pointing out how this is objectively the same as any other advertisement:

    • is projection
    • does not help your argument or convince anyone that you’re right
    • is just as much of a deceptive appeal to emotions by using racial issues as these advertisements are, which is pretty hypocritical

    Looks like I’m the only one of the two of us who is actually taking these issues seriously and willing to have a serious conversation about them. I’ll continue to do so, despite your baseless accusation that is designed to silence. Nothing I have said can be construed as “not liking black people”.


  • Its an ad. That’s how they work. They discredit competitors, directly or indirectly, all the time, in all kinds of ways. This is no different from putting an actor in a white doctor’s coat with a stethoscope, or a fake influencer/streamer with a gaming chair and microphone in their face, to build false crediblity. Lots of companies use subsidiaries and branding to appear to be small businesses instead of a major conglomerate corporation.

    They literally just need to put tiny white text on the bottom that discloses it is an ad for Shein and not a real person, the way other advertisements do, and then this whole thing would be a total non-issue.

    “digital blackface” doesn’t seem to be a problem when McDonalds or the NFL or alcohol companies or car companies or drug companies or anyone else does it.
