L’Oreal Will Remove Words Like ‘Whitening’ from Skin Products
Breitbart - Entertainment ^ | 6-28-2020 | Breitbart News

(AP) PARIS – French cosmetics giant L’Oreal said Saturday that it will remove words like “whitening” from its skin care products, a move that comes amid global protests against racism sparked by the death of George Floyd in the United States.

The company said in a statement Saturday that it “has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products.”

L’Oreal’s decision follows a similar move by Anglo-Dutch firm Unilever on Thursday. It is among a number of companies that have been the target of criticism in the wake of Floyd’s death following his arrest in Minneapolis.

Earlier this month, L’Oreal tweeted that it “stands in solidarity with the Black community and against injustice of any kind. … Speaking out is worth it.”

Woke Capitalism, let's see how this leads and where it will end.

You can't WANT your white clothes white, or your teeth, or skin, or just about anything, white now.

While we’re on the subject, I demand that that the entry “white elephant” be removed from all online and physical dictionaries. That phrase, of course, refers to something that is both expensive and useless.

I am deeply offended by that phrase. And it’s not because I’m white. It’s because I am, in fact, an elephant.

Because we all know these useless gestures will do absolutely nothing to help the black community. It’s just a bunch of liberal white morons acting stupid. They don’t really want to help black people. That would mean they would have to go against the liberal agenda.

A period of COMPLETE INSANITY. What happened to people’s minds?!?! Can it ever change back to normal?!!? It’s only good for hooligans and gangsters and criminals.

I’m talking about the repeal of alcohol.

The country has done insane things before.

And then realized they were insane.

I think it will happen again.

The bottom line is ALWAYS money and right now companies think doing this nonsense will get them more business.

When they’re feel the blow back and realize how much it is HURTING their business, “whitening” will once again be a word they use.
