Teen files complaint against paint company for 'racist' color

3 hrs ago

A teenager has schooled a paint company. Thyra, a 14-year-old student in Sweden, lodged a complaint with her country's anti-discrimination agency against Universal Color and Chemicals, which apparently decided "beige" was too boring of a label for one of its paint colors. The new name? "Skin color" [insert mortified groan here]. "By renaming beige to skin color, they show that there is a whiteness norm in society," Thyra told the Aftonbladet newspaper. "It is completely sick that they just rename beige to skin color when black and brown are also that." Thyra's dad said his daughter's complaint against the "racist" label was partly motivated by her younger sibling. "Her little sister has brown skin, but according to the paint manufacturer she has no skin color," he said. [Source]
