Review (1/5): Whitewashed Advertising is Offensive
I'll give this product 5 stars if the seller stops ignoring the fact that
1) These combs were invented in africa roughly 6 thousand years ago
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.
To show the product with only white males pictured is in fact offensive.
Is it harmless?
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.
Cultural appropriation at it's finest.
