A L’Oréal-owned Korean beauty company, Stylenada, has been accused of “HAND BLACK FACE”
Black hand? I dunno.
They’ve been accused of painting a white (or Asian. Most likely Asian) girl’s hand black…
This, of course, isn’t just lazy. It’s SUPER, SUPER RACIST.

Eh… again. I’mma guess she’s Korean.
BUT
I’m gonna be PERFECTLY honest with you all…
I wasn’t sure what the fuss was. Like… what exactly is wrong here? I don’t see it.

OHHHH.
See um… I’ve never stared at people’s hands. So … I didn’t know that was a thing.
Apparently, the designers of this ad didn’t either.
Buuuuut… they’re literally designing an ad with hands in it. That’s their job. So maybe they should have a better concept of what hands look like? I dunno.
Of course… people are turning this into a HYUUUUGE RACIST THING.
why is that hand wearing black face

“Asian countries are always so racist.”
I’m sorry… isn’t that racist?
the problem is that people don’t understand that korea is completely ignorant and tone-deaf when it comes to things like this, and in their eyes this is acceptable and the “norm” vs. america where people have more (not enough) to the history of these things.

KOREANS ARE JUST IGNORANT.
Yeeeah… that seems more offensive than a too-dark hand to me.
Anyway… those ignorant Koreans (not my words) have taken the ad down:

Thank GOD that horrific atrocity was rectified. Black-hand is obviously something very evil and racist and worth freaking out about.
