there's nothing wrong with what you're saying or the questions you're asking
however the simple fact of the matter is that some countries around the world just do not care about this subject in their culture, that's really all it comes down to. not all countries are exactly like America
have any of you heard of "
DARKIE" toothpaste? this is not something I randomly searched while reading this thread, this is something I've known about because my parents told/showed me a long time ago. because they grew up in China & Taiwan. here's a pic and link and an excerpt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlie
This is a toothpaste brand originally founded in China/Taiwan that was very popular. And the boxes which show blackface and "DARKIE" (not darLie) are before Colgate bought the company and forced them to change the logo/name sometime around 1990
But read this:
"
However, the Chinese name of the brand, "黑人牙膏" (in English, "Black Person Toothpaste"), remains the same, and a Chinese-language advertising campaign reassured customers that "Black Person Toothpaste is still Black Person Toothpaste".
"
Most native overseas Asians who have never lived in America don't care about that stuff. Even my parents still chuckle about this toothpaste. (they are in their upper-60s)
