It looks like they’re marketing it towards black women. No racism here.

Lmao. Brilliantly written. 

I don’t see how this is racist at all if you watch the other commercials it’s pretty much the same thing…if they didn’t make one with a black hand then people would be complaining that they’re racist for not using a black person in any of their commercials.

I will never look at my hand the same again.  Forever I will think, VAGINA!    My poor hand.

HAHAHAHA

I don’t understand how this is racist…? It’s not like they’re saying that a black snatch is especially dirty. The “snatch” in the commercial just happens to be black. Can someone explain to me how this is racist? Because I’m confused.

They make me wanna buy it.

I don’t see this is being racist, just a bit stereotypical. And also just a shitty commercial.

Well, that was annoying… -_-

racist? no.
disturbing? in my book, yes.

i think you need to look up racism and reevaluate your “what is racist standards”. this reminds me of your dove advertisment claims of racism. i like all your other blogs but your quick to yell out racism blogs makes ya lose points.

@SasGal@xanga - and now you feel like every man, hahaha

@SuburbanSweetheart - I agree.

Oh man, that “Latina” one? *facepalm*

This isn’t racist.

Yeah, sorry, this isn’t racist at all. People think that by putting in different races or adding an accent to a person makes the commercial “racist” for some reason. GET OVER IT. I’m so sick of hearing about this shit. They’re definitely weird commercials, but come on. They have to market to all women, and not all women are white, obviously. I thought that was a no-brainer.

you see ads with people from other races, you call it racist.  you see ads without people from other races, you call it not diverse enough.  what do you want them to do?  make up your mind.

i dont think this is as much racist as it is stupid and ineffective.

@irene408@xanga - I don’t think I do that! Also, this ad doesn’t feature people of other races. It features hands posing as vaginas that adhere to silly racial stereotypes.

@Jessica - sorry if I was too quick to judge.  I think you probably need to learn to phrase your thoughts better.  I find your title and comments more annoying and offensive than the ad itself.  if “this ad doesn’t feature people of other races”, then why did you call it racist?  stereotyping is different from being racist.

@irene408@xanga - I think the hands in the ad are used to embody racial stereotypes. You don’t need to literally have a black or Latina person in a piece of media for it to reflect stereotypes. In any case, BuzzFeed, which is my cited source, first called the ad racist, so it’s not like I hatched this out of thin air. Gawker is just one other blog that’s also picked up on it: http://gawker.com/5822698/black-vagina-wears-afro-mexican-vagina-says-ay+yi+yi-in-douche-ad. Just my two cents!

vertical smile? oh my god. Also, who ignores their vag? It’s kind of an integral player in day to day human functioning.

It’s just really stereotypical, is all. The commercials… just aren’t good. 

For all of those saying that is is not racist it is stereotyping: Stereotyping can propagate racism. By fueling the stereotype about Black and Latina women, they are telling the world: Yes!, Black women only care about their hair and they all talk a certain way and roll their neck ( as the ad shows ), and all Latina women are fiery and make babies ( as the as shoes) If you watch the ads carefully, you will see that is is very distasteful. The more people think this way about minorities, the more often they are regarded as such. 

Making an ad that is supposed to speak for a certain ethnicity/race is just a no no in general. No one can speak for everyone. I think summers eve should have made one ad that could reach all groups for that chemical crap they sell, instead of this ridiculous attempt at diversity.

I won’t get into the racist part, I think it’s just a marketing thing. It’s just really disturbing. The last one…”vertical smile” uuuugh. Yeah, I’m not a fan of talking hands-playing-vaginas. Creepy.

I don’t think it’s racist, i think it’s a poor attempt at marketing towards women of all races and ages.

And “vertical smile”? really? …

I think they’re funny. I don’t get how they’re douchey. They have to advertise their product somehow. I don’t think there’s anyway to do it without making you feel bad about your ladyparts. The point is to make you feel bad so you’ll buy their product and stop feeling bad…

@thepsychoticraccoon@xanga - Because according to Jessica, everything is racist.  Being from New York, she feels compelled to tell the rest of the world how inferior they are and how everything they do is evil in some way.

@BimmerPhile@xanga - lol, ok
