Companies will often get called out if they use racist images in their ads, like the recent Nivea ad that said Afros are uncivilized. However, one prevalent racial stereotype usually gets a pass in advertising: Asians as technology experts. The image is generally positive, but it still limits the way Asian Americans are portrayed.

Monday, Nadra Kareem wrote about interracial dating for the blog Racialicious. Specifically: "Dating With A Vengeance." A few years ago, Ms. Kareem saw a comment on the IMDB page of actor John Cho. Someone wrote, "I hope he dates a white girl." Ms. Kareem explains: "The commenter, presumably an Asian male, explained that he made the statement because it would serve Asian women right if a desirable Asian male ended up with a white woman, since Asian women so often end up with white men." Ms. Kareem claims she has seen more and more comments like this online: People happy that Halle Berry has partnered with Gabriel Aubry, for instance, because, "black men are afraid of marriage, dating white women, in jail, 'on the down low' or dead, the commenters argue." You might think this attitude of dating as some kind of counterattack is crazy. I don't. More »

The beauty industry in the UK is being accused of ignoring black and Asian women, reports The Independent. The market for minority makeup, skin and hair care is 2% of the £3.7 billion British beauty industry, despite the fact that ethnic minorities are 7.9% of the population. Plus, minorities are underrepresented in the "visual industries" of beauty, fashion and advertising. "Non-white people make up more than 20% of the population in London, yet only 1 per cent of the models." Since we're always interested in black models, beauty companies and the way beauty companies handle minorities, we'll be following this closely. [The Independent] More »
