Human Rights Watch denounced the ad for the new “Charcoal Donut” on Friday, calling for American company Dunkin' Donuts to pull the campaign.

“Painting someone with blackface to sell a chocolate doughnut is racist,” Phil Robertson, Thailand-based deputy director of the Human Rights Watch’s Asia division, told Yahoo Shine. “This is unfortunate, and Dunkin’ Donuts should take action and drop this ad. They should also show some degree of atonement and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”




Should Martians be offended?

Blacks have WAY bigger lips. Therefore, not racist.

Doesn't offend me at all. I wouldn't have even noticed it actually.

But let's be fair, the complaint didn't even come from a black person. In fact, I have a friend--black herself--who did a similar shoot to this in college. The only differences were that she painted white girls--not an Asian like this--and there was no donut.

No worse than real life.
Remember the Tanning Bed mom who people thought had
taken her daughter to a tanning salon?

That is pretty racist.

What charcoal race is there to be offended?

White on white pretending to be red. I'm offended.

OHHHH, that's why police hang around donut shops.

That is not black face.... dumb complaint.

One day the Obama administration will dictate that all pregnant women have to
take a shot that will alter their dna to make all races the same. (kidding)
