Sarah Silverman wants brands to stop calling their 'exclusively Caucasian' products 'nude'
Yahoo Lifestyle ^ | March 16, 2019 | Erin Donnelly

Sarah Silverman has a bone to pick with how certain household items are labeled — and she’s calling for more diversity.

The comedian took to Twitter to point out that products like pantyhose and bandages come in shades marked as “nude,” though the peachy-beige tone really only applies to some white people.

“I can’t [expletive] believe that there are still ‘nude’ bras and nylons and Band Aids,” she wrote. “If you are a company still using nude to describe an exclusively Caucasian shade in 20[expletive]19 you need to change now or go tha way of zee dinosaur.”

It's like leftists wake up every morning hoping to be outraged about something.

That’s what this dumb barren #### is worried about?

No wonder she’s barren and alone.

Skin tone Band-Aids would be too diverse and cost too much and drive the cost of Band-Aids to the roof. So I recommend all Band-Aids be colored International Orange so that they can make the coveted wound stand out properly for all to see.

Sarah, how long did it take you to find something new to be ‘outraged’ about this time? You’re covering almost every noun and adjective in the English language. It guess ‘dangling participles’ are soon to be next under fire.

While they are at it, maybe they can bring some pressure on the Crayola Crayon Company.

Oh, wait...they got "woke" very early.

They could have taken a different approach...

When her pal Bill Maher tells Sarah how big a fool she’s making of herself with this protest, can you guess what comes next? Sarah will say “OMG!!!...Can’t people recognize Irony when they hear it? I am a performer, therefore, I was performing. Is that against the law now?”

Maybe she can focus on Italian Food, or German Food, or French Food and demand it be called the food that Muslim Immigrants refuse to eat, or demand black hair oil and black hair care products be relabeled for diversity. Zeesh.

I want that dumbass to change her name from Silverman. She’s NOT silver and she’s NOT a man (at least I don’t think so).
