M&S at it now

Utterly ridiculous virtue signaling

 

[thenewoc]

Why would anyone need skin toned underwear anyway. O.o

 

[thenewoc]

Where's the range for white people? Perhaps they ought to be inspired by Alan Turing, someone who actually did something honourable with their life.

 

[thenewoc]

Whiter skin tones are covered as part of the same range. **** me, try using your brain occasionally instead of being constantly triggered.

I am paler than the examples I've seen so still not catered for.

 

[thenewoc]

Unless you're Casper the Friendly ******* Ghost, I think one of the 7 shades will have you covered: https://www.marksandspencer.com/l/lingerie/neutrals

Most of those examples don't match either so pretty pointless unless people are buying them to signal how virtuous they are.

 

[thenewoc]

This is not 'wokery' it has nothing to do with that. This is just M&S using a dead mans name to somewhat promote their new underwear colour range.

It's about as woke as it gets to dress up how virtuous you are in producing something utterly pointless just so no one feels under represented. And it's taken however many decades and a black person dieing to realise their range had something missing and a missed opportunity to make some cash.

 

[thenewoc]

Many reasons. Wearing light or thin clothing can mean that in strong light your underwear can be seen through the material. If your underwear colour matches your skin tone this makes it much less obvious that your clothes are see-through.

There's always been white, black and other colours so not convinced that they actually need to be skin toned now when they haven't before.

 

[thenewoc]

Am sure if it were really important the suffragettes would have campaigned for them long ago.

 

[thenewoc]

Perhaps we should eliminate jeans, because we were quite alright with cotton trousers for a long time.

Stop trying to be offended and get a ******* life.

I suppose you'll want skin toned jeans next?

 

[thenewoc]

I totally agree, "M&S bring skin coloured underwear" definitely isn't a story. The point the OP is trying to make is that a company many perceive as almost a national institution is joining many other companies in taking advantage of an contributing to the increasing politicisation (and polarisation) of our culture.

Yes it's the way it's introduced in the self congratulatory way, look at us we're the good guys. If their occupying such moral high ground, why's it taken this long? It's so fake and obvious, smacks of desperation to exploit some extra sales on the back of a race incident, death of a gangster.

 

[thenewoc]

Yeah, typical newspaper crud, almost making it sound like they called it "The George Flloyd Collection".

Not just any 'The George Flloyd Collection' but the 'M&S The George Flloyd Collection'

 

[thenewoc]

Then buy your knickers elsewhere, I'm sure M&S will shed a tear at the loss of your custom.

I will and one that's better quality too.

They can't win. They only used super skinny models and they get criticised. They use oversize models which is far more representative of the population, they get criticised

It's what happens when you're woke, you eventually disappear down your own rabbit hole.

 

[thenewoc]

Do you need some help with your vocabulary? You're utterly obsessed with a word you repeatedly use (and misuse). All very strange

No and I included a link a few posts back so you can read up on it yourself.

Hopefully we'll be exporting them to an African immigration facility in the not too distant future. They should get the message to claim asylum in one of the first safe countries they break into then, rather than France and the rest of the EU being complicit in pushing their problem onto others.

 

[thenewoc]

Those people may not have contributed yet, but the country hasn't spent 16-18 years (or much longer) of welfare on them either.

It will do when they breed the next generation.

What about every single woman that refuses to date non white people on dating sites and social media?

This is also highly prevalent among all LGBT groups as well.

Is this 'just a preference' as all the wokeys defend it at? Nothing at all racist about saying 'Sorry, not into asians' on your dating profile?

When people don't even want to meet or simply socialize with non white people, why even bother still letting us in? You would actually be doing us a favour by stopping immigration and maybe even by sending me back, I'm sure every leftist that reads my online posts would love for that to happen.

Its not really about individuals though it's about not having uncontrolled volumes, especially if they're from non English speaking countries since they're at an immediate disadvantage to become useful rather than spending a lifetime on benefits.

 

[thenewoc]

Take it from me - being able to speak, write and listen better than any 'English' person doesn't stop a non white from being stuck on benefits.

The left are at least equally, if not more to blame for this as anything and everything they try to do to pander to ethnic minorities does nothing but make us look less and less desirable.

I've seen multiple janitors that couldn't speak a word of English. I try to apply for janitor work and get told I don't have enough references.

Maybe but it depends on job demand in a particular area and the size of the population in that area. As for the left, it's their fault because they pursued a policy of letting in as many as they could. Also, if you're chasing unskilled work it's always going to be tough since there may be a huge number of people also applying for such work.
