So, does all whitening products is to restructure. so ridiculous!!!

WTF

If it makes my teeth that white hell yeah I would use it.

Stop getting offended by everything

🤣🤣🤣🙄

nike needs to also change it's Airjordan brand which is milking the image of a black person who was enslaved by the NBA for years to entertain mainly white audiences in settings reminiscent of Roman slave gladiators in venues similar to the coliseums

I used this brand growing up, and its reputation was it was better than any mainstream one for cleaning and whitening. If they must, I hope they can smartly preserve that. Naming a product after whatever picture or logo is on it is pretty common for the older Asian products

I don’t believe 🤦🏾‍♂️

Lol at this rate I hope that Nike don't drop the Air Jordan brand 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏾

Welcome to 2020, year of the morons. When white paint was banned as it is too offensive.

Lol

TO AVOID!

What about FairandLovely from Unilever..... Totally a racist product from poor South Asian and African countries....

So, eliminating any and all mention of blackness from products isn't racist.......
