Nivea makes a hilarious gaffe - Make Nivea the official sponsor of this forum

German skincare brand Nivea has apologised and removed an advert that was deemed discriminatory.

The advert for its invisible deodorant range said "white is purity" across an image of a woman.

It was posted on the firm's Facebook page, geographically aimed at its followers in the Middle East. Nivea accepted the post was "misleading".

Many on social media complained the post was racist, but it was also widely-shared among alt-right users.

The advert on the Nivea Facebook page (since deleted) was posted alongside the caption: "Keep it clean, keep it bright. Don't let anything ruin it."

The post was directed at its audience in the Middle East, although the company has 19 million fans globally on its page.

Many on social media complained about the post's racist connotations.

So the Germans have embraced their heritage and decided to target the Arabs with an amazing message. The picture in question.

Now, this is pretty funny by itself, but the BBC proceeds to show a bunch of 'alt right' accounts liking this image.

But it was also picked up by alt-right social media accounts who trolled the Nivea account with comments, including of Hitler and Pepe the frog, who was branded a hate symbol last year

One alt-right account said: "#Nivea: the official moisturizer/anti-perspirant of the #AltRight."

So, will you Kiwis be buying Nivea now that it embraces the true and honest way? Will the BBC ever figure out which accounts are actually serious and which ones are just trolling? Who knows?

NOT EVERYTHING IS A REFERENCE TO RACE

If it ain't white it ain't right.

'White' will no longer be in the established color charts anymore, it'll be called something else entirely.

White will be renamed to "privileged".

Hahah lol what.

These lazy tards have never done laundry. You've gotta be a FANATIC to keep stuff like deodorant and the colors from other clothes from running onto the white stuff you launder. I saw the advert and was like, Bingo, they mean it won't ruin your laundry. I do think adverts can be racist, but I honestly think THIS one isn't. It's a reference to household chores, which are something sjws don't do.

The salt makes it all worthwhile, though. :3

Meh. This is nothing. Too bad only white people can be racist, though...

There's a YoungTurks video on this that makes me want to punch things (preferably fat, hypocritical genocide denying smug assholes), so I'll not link to it, for the sake of my own peace of mind.
