After years of petitions, Band-Aid will now launch a new line of bandages in a range of different skin tone colors — from beige to dark brown — to “embrace the beauty of diverse skin,” the firm announced Thursday.

The bandage brand, which is owned by Johnson & Johnson, said it plans to roll out the new product in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement

What? No totally white ones?

Albinos of every race will now start rioting in the streets.

That looks like makeup (foundation, powder) and is probably just as expensive to make. Why not wear a clear bandage, or one with a cartoon character on it?

[TFG]

Why not just use the clear ones?!

[Skywise]

Oh good grief stop.

And where’s the Asian ones anyway?

OK you two, that’s quite enough clear thinking for this thread...

If I accidentally choose the wrong color is it cultural appropriation?

[Stravinsky]

Why not one decorated with hammer and sickle?

[KarlInOhio]

No blue ones for Smurfs and restaurant workers?

“Because a Band-Aid doesn’t do much for a bullet-hole.”

And if a white person picks a brown color, he or she will be called “culturally insensitive.”

HAHAHA!!!!! You win the post of the week. LOL!!!!

This is actually not a bad idea. Younger (and vainer) people would probably want a band-aid that matches their skin color. So why not? I’m actually surprised that this has not already been done.

Of course Johnson & Johnson can’t just make a simple announcement about a new product. They’ve got to throw in “diversity” nonsense. But I guess that’s to be expected these days.

hadn’t thought of that....but you’re right!

“No totally white ones?”

With totally white ones you knew when they got dirty. I prefer the cheap ones as long as they stick.

[kickstart]

That’s racist!

[BwanaNdege]

What?

Where are teh ones for “Blacks”?

[SkyDancer]

Plaid. That should cover everything. Also, no more white stuff like sugar, bread, white women giving birth to white babies and snow, have to have black snow - soot.
