[Petition] Cibu: Stop using racism to sell products

Gender, Race, Take Action

Posted by × January 28, 2013 at 2:50 pm

Please take a second to sign and share this petition to ask Cibu to stop using offensive stereotypes about Asian women to sell their line – especially the really gross “Miso Knotty” ["Me so naughty"] product. For background, see previous posts on racism in Cibu’s branding and their response when these concerns were first raised.

The featured image for this post (in the homepage slider) in a screenshot from comedian Elliot Chang’s video “Things Asians Hate” – a simultaneously hilarious and depressing send-up of many of the stereotypes that Cibu is using to sell hair products.
