Band-aids are now considered racist

Just because one idiot says something doesn't make it true

Offended is my happy place!!

We have clear ones now. I fucking hate this shit. It makes me seriously consider voting GOP.

If Twitter said OP's father was a cunt. Should we all believe it?

This goes back to the 1970s.

Why do you think they started selling clear bandaids? And why do you think they started making fleshtones darker?

I hate woketards.

R4 no one said believe it. Jesus. It’s a viral video that has people discussing this. Relax.

R5 is right, and doesn't anyone remember the joke in Pulp Fiction of Ving Rhames with a band-aid on and it was very obviously NOT skin colored? These complaints have been around since I was a kid and I am old as the hills.

It may not be the most important issue, but it does show how the assumption that white is the norm is everywhere in our society. Even in places we never think about it.

Look at her Twitter page. She's a MAGA cunt. She thinks she's trying to be funny by posting this.

[quote]It makes me seriously consider voting GOP.

I doubt r3 ever voted blue to begin with.

R10 that’s not her Twitter

It’s mostly her superior tone. She’s telling how she is so much better and enlightened than everyone else.

Little does she know, everyone can smell her stank pussy.

Really, R3? You are going to cite for the party that would strip away your hard won civil rights if s because of what some idiot does on TickTok? You are happy to give up your right to marriage, to not be fired from a job, to live your life freely, just to “own the libs?”

Oh those people who say "I'm going to vote Republican because of what this person tweeted" are just trolls, they're being ridiculous.

She looks like an alien

R12 the lady who posted this video to make fun of it (like OP is doing) is a MAGA cunt, she says so in her profile.

MAGAs are the ones talking about this because they're all riled up. That's all they do, scour the internet for someone to say something they can get offended by, then post about it everywhere, like OP just did. Fuck OP for linking to a MAGA cunt!

PLEASE PLEASE Mrs Wilder, I’m bleeding to death. PLEASE wrap that gauze around my wound...

Nope, the gauze is white, the tape is white and I will not exhibit racists behavior like that. Sorry, I can’t compromise my principles.

To a Woke Karen they are. I find woke people are embarrassingly desperate to seem relevant. They also tend to be fucking angry control freaks, usually unattractive, almost deliberately asexual.

R14 he's in the "Is wokeness a fad or here to stay?" thread saying he's going to vote GOP there too because he's tired of all this "race stuff," and then he says he's glad the "woke" are destroying society because there's a new world on the horizon, which sounds a LOT like far-right neo-Nazi rhetoric to me. Someone questioned him on it and he disappeared probably because he'd given himself away.

Except you can literally find clear ones everywhere for the same cost. It’s not right that brown ones should be harder to find and cost more, but it might be more reflective of the fact the US population is about 13% Black. Simple supply and demand will dictate availability and cost.

Thanks r17. I sure fell for that hook line sinker. Boy oh boy, should have seen thru that.

They’re more than 13%. That numbers as fake as the white one, who use brown people to boost their number.

One casualty of all this it the word "literally." I can't hear it without giggling anymore.

The clear ones make it look like you left some scotch tape on yourself while wrapping presents.

But at least they don't literally kill you.

Gymnastics chalk is racist, too.

I'm white but band aids do not match my skin tone. They should make them pale blue. Until then, I will continue to use Hello Kitty plasters.

R3 reveals the intent behind this stupid thread.

OP sniffs Trump’s dirty drawls

No one’s skin is bandaid colored.

OP, you seemed more offended than anyone else

All I can remember of an NPR segment from thirty-plus years ago is Susan Stamberg saying perkily “Band-Aids for black people!”

That seems extreme, R28. Plaster is for immobilizing a body part. Why not just use colored bandaids?

Okay, I got it wrong. But still using plaster is a bit of overkill, R28. And a lot more uncomfortable than a bandaid.

[quote] Why do you think they started selling clear bandaids?

Do you not realize clear Bandaids are not clear all around? They still have a large flesh-toned square part that stands out on black people. Until they make that part darker, this is still a big issue.

SNOW ❄️ is racist too

It’s benefited from WHITE PRIVILEGE and WHITE SUPREMACY especially if one notices that snow is

ALL WHITE

They’re children. Why not get CHILDRENS bandaids? They’re usually colorful or have characters.

They’re mostly white characters though.

FFS. Just color them and call them Neg-aids and everyone can be happy.

Made up drama. Christ.

This thread is race bait. It links to a self-described MAGA account and was specifically designed to attract the whole spectrum of racists, from the "uhm everything that is white is racist!!!!" chuckleheads, to the "this is why we should vote GOP" assholes, to the racists like r40 who are just itching to say the n-word.

Mental illness continues to spread.

How is DL unable to grasp the band aid point? The color that sells and has sold as default is meant to match lighter skin (not dark). I wouldn’t call it racist but it’s definitely not inclusive either. This is not unique to just band aids either. On DL I expect rude snark but not people entirely not even able to get the point. Deplorables have come here in droves since they are deplatformed elsewhere.

Are you the platform troll?

Then my race is Avengers! It used to be dinosaur.

That’s what the teacher should use r45
