“White teeth are raciss.

Doesn’t work both ways. But you knew that.

“Their only problem is the “models” they chose.”

If I read the ad right, those are not models, but rather the three dentists who run the practice. Their problem is they apologized to the SJWs. That’s like chum in the water.

I knew we were in trouble in grade school in the 60’s. They changed the image of the ‘melting pot’ of America - all becoming one - to a mosaic. This has been a very long war against America. If Trump didn’t win, America would be gone. I don’t know how we reclaim the minds of the youth lost to socialism.

I used the term “models” colloquially! I understood that they were the one's dressed up themselves.

Yeah, it’s a good thing that they didn’t take the picture in the dark! The AA’s would have burned their office to the ground!

Disney’s “Mulan” is on tv right now. How horrible!! Songs like “A Girl Worth Fighting For” and “I’ll Make a Man Out of You”.

Well, it must be “cultural appropriation” for every foreigner who comes here and wears American style suits and other clothes.

Pendulum swings both ways, kiddies.

I hope the people making these accusations aren’t speaking English. They’re going to have to use a different language. If they’re using English, they’re cultural appropriators.

Tell the self appointed culture police to go f*** themselves? Someone only has as much power over you as you give them.

Well it is hard to show teeth or even smile when you got your upper lip captive with a humongous wooden disk...

A whitening system sounds like ethnic cleansing.

It was probably the word “whitening” that triggered them.

Their little internal commissar snapped to attention at the slightest whiff of PC speech code variance.

I would not doubt that induced visible physical trembling.

I am beginning to wonder are these overly sensitive responses really being instigated by foreign powers.

Their only problem is the “models” they chose. I mean no “smiling” Black or Hispanic.

Look at the caption. These lovely ladies are all dentists!
