In reply to the discussion: What the Fuck was Dove Soap Trying to Convey with this Ad? [View all]janterry
(4,429 posts)12. Dove has tried to have ads
with both cultural diversity and a body positive message. I think that this ad got through because, despite the attempts to be diverse - their TEAM musn't be diverse. I can't imagine women of color (african american/asian - there was supposed to be an asian woman, too) - wouldn't have seen this pronto.
I'm sure many caucasian women should have seen this, too.
But it does not neglect this fact: diversity in ads demands, imo, diversity at the corporate level.

There is nothing wrong with the ad...Would you like it better if Asian lady turned into Black Lady?

How about no one turning into anyone else? You know, being proud of who you are...
