Funkydog 06/12/20 4:21:54 PM #7:	It's a good thing and honestly plasters should have come in more diverse colours long, long ago. Remember thinking how odd it was when I read Noughts and Crosses, where it talks about the minority white people only having dark brown plasters and no pinks ones back in the 2000's and still honestly not sure how easy/possible it is for any Brit to get plasters that aren't "peach coloured". Had never been something I'd thought about before then, but definitely something that made me realise even as a "small thing" and it can have a much greater impact than you think. --- https://imgur.com/BGbZK <cite>Funkydog posted [p:940574159] in we did it....

Weird that they didn't think of that sooner, and apparently some generic bandage brand did before. I realise you're likely purposely pointing out they are very late to this, but for the benefit of others they didn't "think of it first" Heck, several women of colour have tried to get it to be a thing before, and even some controversy here in the UK of a supermarket stealing the idea of one of said women. Heck, one black woman even wrote a book about it two decades ago. This is something they've been saying since forever, and the companies have waited until now to actually do fucking anything. They don't deserve respect/kudos for it, regardless of it being a good step to finally having taken. --- https://imgur.com/BGbZK <cite>Funkydog posted [p:940574681] in we did it....
