ACK!!! Cut my thumb making lunch so I had to run to the drug store for some Band-Aids! Check it out, guys! They now come in these really great 'chocolate' and 'coffee' colors! And who doesn't love chocolate, right? So I picked that one! Yay! I love the food theme colors, don't you? Thanks, Band-Aid!

Band aids to match your skin tone?
Great idea, and probably a viable product in a free capitalist market.
I don’t get this post, are we against this?
I am against pretending that the lack of Band-Aids of Color (BAOCs) is an act of oppression that prevents anyone from achieving their goals in life. I am against pretending this is some kind of “micro-aggression”. I am against calling the companies who don’t make these “racist” and shutting them down. I am against the idea that the only purpose of lighter-coloured Band-Aids was blending with skin tone, and not providing the customer with a material against which dirt, grime, and blood would appear visible, letting them know it was time to change Band-Aids. I am against requiring any store stock these under punishment of the law. And I am against calling these companies racist if these Band-Aids are dismissed as a novelty and do not sell and they forced to remove them from their shelves.
I’m also against that.
But I’m for getting a band-aid that will not stand out against my God-given skin tone.
I really don’t see a problem that band aid’s now offering different colors.
That’s fine. Nobody cares that they are making Band-Aids in different color tones. It’s more everything that will be attached to this, like if a black student goes to the school nurse and gets handed a “white person Band-Aid”, that will be seen as an act of “racism” and the school nurse will be fired or at minimum reprimanded. I am not saying you would support that, but I think it’s clear that these types of things keep leading to more charges of racism and not less, and that’s why the mockery happens.
The amount of woke people on the “black” side isn’t very big.
Most woke products/happenings are mostly because of white peoples demands.
This product is a result of a request from the black community on their own behalf, not like it usually is when a company goes woke; a lib request on behalf of a “marginalized “group that doesn’t really care.
I am also against the victim consciousness this creates in people and I am against the “equity pricing” of charging more for the “white” product and less for for the “black” product even though all market forces would suggest those prices should be reversed, if anything.
White product is $6.99 for 60.
Black/browns are $5.99 for 30, how is that cheaper?
Didn’t notice that. Fair point.
