Tesco to sell plasters in racially diverse skin tones.

I've seen blue ones on sale for years. Proof at last that Venusians living amongst us! ;););););)

Blue are used by the Smurfs too!

Blue (or green) ones have been a requirement in food establishments and processing plants for years.

Sounds like a good idea - why not, doesn’t harm anyone?

What a sad place we live in when coloured plasters make people happy.

What a sad world we live in when people feel the need to denigrate something that makes some people happy, and has no negative impact on them...

Re: Coloured plasters
 

Maybe it makes me feel happy :shrug:

Re: Coloured plasters
 

If there has been a plaster that matched my skin tone, then it would've been a coincidence and nothing more. I never got the slightest bit bothered whether it did or not. In fact in never would've occurred to me to be the slightest bit bothered. White people will now be criticised when forced to buy "non-white" plasters because the "white" plasters weren't available.:rolleyes:

Re: Coloured plasters
 

:rolleyes: Some people need to worry about more important things than "skin colour" plasters

I would use kiddy ones, a plaster is a plaster.

Re: Coloured plasters
 

No yellow ones? :erm:

Re: Coloured plasters
 

"forced to"?

<snigger>

Just like people were forced to buy Greggs vegan sausage rolls? ;)

Nobody is being deprived of anything, there’s just going to be more choice - Capitalism in action... ;)

Re: Coloured plasters
 

If there were no "white" plasters left on the shelf, then as I said:rolleyes:, they would be forced to buy "non-white" ones. Just as somebody who needs(for health related reasons) to buy wholemeal bread is occasionally forced to buy white, brown, or 50/50 bread instead.

If you really believe that, by your reasoning, "non-white" people are "forced" to buy the current "flesh coloured" plasters.

Re: Coloured plasters
 

Yes but they have minions on them.

Re: Coloured plasters
 

The issue isn't whether they are forced to buy X, but the inevitable complaints from others, if they were forced to buy "their" plasters.
