Whitewashed Advertising is Offensive
I'll give this product 5 stars if the seller stops ignoring the fact that<br />1) These combs were invented in africa roughly 6 thousand years ago<br />2) They were a status symbol in African culture back then and became a significant symbol of African-American pride in the 1970s in America.<br /><br />To show the product with only white males pictured is in fact offensive.<br /><br />Is it harmless?<br /><br />No, not when the majority of African and African-American inventions are portrayed as white inventions, reinforcing white value and stealing recognition, credit, and respect from black cultural and history.<br /><br />Cultural appropriation at it's finest.
Rating: 1 stars
