Politically Incorrect Toothpaste



I picked this tube of toothpaste up on my recent trip to Xiamen. The brandname, "heimei" in Chinese, means "black sister". This could be an offshoot of the Darlie (previously "Darkie") toothpaste that has been around China, Taiwan and Hong Kong for decades. As you can see in this post at Sinosplice, Darlie toothpaste only changed its name in English - in Chinese it says, and always has said, "heiren" or "black person". Despite the offensiveness over the decades, Chinese toothpaste companies continue to come up with racially insensitive brands like this.
