NEW YORK — Dove is facing heat for a body wash ad showing a black woman taking off her shirt to reveal a white woman, with many social media users calling it racist. One is a group of four images from the ad that show only the black woman turning into the white woman. Social media users said there were racist implications of a soap ad that showed a black woman transforming into a white woman. A clean body is not a white body. A 2011 ad that showed two women of colour and a white woman standing in front of “before” and “after” signs was also criticized .
