... ehhh, we just bought a new toothpaste called Darlie. (tea mint flavor XD)
Only when I was brushing my teeth did I notice "黑人牙膏" written on the tube.
I have enough knowledge to understand its meaning: "black people's toothpaste".
I was shocked.
Isn't that racist or simply a misconception that black people have whiter teeth because of their skin?
After a few moments on Wikipedia, I learnt that the brand used to be called "Darkie"
which is even worse...
Seriously, they should simply leave the English name and change the Chinese name.
The ignorance that remains in product packaging around the globe even to this day is shocking.
