Gululu, you gotta be kidding me. You used a racist product called Darkie toothpaste?
Calling a black person Darkie, even a toothpaste brand name, is certainly racist.
It doesn't matter what context, Western or Eastern or whatever. Calling a black person with such a degrading name for a toothpaste is disgusting!
Racism in the 21st century may be in a different form compared to the 19th century or earlier periods of humanity's history but it still exists in every country. Even China.
I scold my parents every time they call black people "black ghosts" in Cantonese. That's racist!
I remember this toothpaste when I was in HK, it was always called from direct cantonese translation to be "black guy toothpaste" but I never thought anything about it as the picture was always a two tone picture with a guy in a top hat.
looks like the marketing co behind the commercial earned their money...
probably met the #of viral shares in a matter of hours
like Trump, any publicity is good publicity.

That other commercial above where the white guy turned black, it had almost zero media coverage. Why is this new commercial getting so much attention?
Its racist if you think its racist, what if it was a white guy turning black/asian/brown.. would you guys still think its as racist?
The racism in the Chinese add is effectively saying black ppl are dirty (not desirable), the Italian one, whilst still racist is suggesting "colored" are better - calling people of African heritage colored is racist (or at least very very non P.C.).
Which is worse? The connotations associated with the Chinese add are worse, as they're indicating a people are worse than another.
The Asian guy that came out is ugly as fuck. #NOHOMO!
Could have at least picked a better looking dude to make their point.

young Africans are joining china's shrinking manual labour force. black men working as delivery assemblers for suning.com in guangzhou, so you can see the chinese society is very accommodating to blacks. or else they wouldn't even apply for such roles
