The ad still suggests black women have to

That's a pretty lovely way to interpret a message that features a black woman though. Where do you draw the line between "if you assume the target group is race+gender you're part of the problem" and "we know some people will misinterpret, so we want to avoid there being bad implications in that case"?

Extremely dumb, but at least they changed it and didn't try to argue or double down. Amazing that no one spotted it in the design phase though.

Often people just don’t know how awful something sounds because they’re from homogeneous environments and have never had to think how a minority might react to their statement or plan. That’s this ad. It’s not racist, but it is inconsiderate of race.

*whispers* that's racism too, just bc it's not overtly malicious doesn't mean it's not

that above is literally what being ignorant of something is in the truest sense of the word

better idea: have more PoC MAKE advertising instead of a host of young/old white guys, it's like working with the same man at multiple stages of his life

I'm assured that if you have a frying pan where, upon being swung at a human skull, you would be unsure whether the pan or the skull would be dented by the impact, you should throw it away.

No but I don't generally get very many. Had an ex who liked to tweeze ingrown hairs on my leg and I wasn't very comfortable with that either. I can be very English if that helps explain it.
