A social media outcry over an advertisement for Dove body wash which showed a black woman removing her top to reveal a white woman has escalated into a public relations disaster for the Unilever brand. Dove removed the clip and apologized, saying on Twitter that the post had "missed the mark in representing women of colour thoughtfully." In the full clip, the black woman removed her T-shirt to reveal the white woman, who then lifted her own top to reveal another woman. Some of those ads were posted on social media. After using the soap, the black child looks delighted to see that his skin has turned white.
