Darkie is apparently a brand going way back (historical back, yo) which draws upon years and years of blatant racial stereotyping performed by the Chinese.  The message here is: Black people have nice white teeth, and if you want nigger teeth, brush up with Darkie!  American readers please note the obvious similarity to Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben&#8217;s.  The commentary provided by young Asian and American readers of the site is priceless:<\/p>\n<p>Among the pleasantries: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Well, I don\u2019t know if \u201cDarkie\u201d is racist-RACIST, but it\u2019s definitely offensive. Imagine, say, a black hair dye that shows a really stereotypical Asian person\u2013SUPER-slanty eyes, buck-toothed, thick glasses, etc.\u2013and it\u2019s called \u201cYellowie\u201d or \u201cChinky,\u201d and you get the idea. It\u2019s always easy to say, \u201cAhhh, that ain\u2019t a big deal,\u201d if your group\u2019s not the one being made fun of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above written by a user who goes by the tag, Da Xiangchang, who I&#8217;m pretty sure is a character from Street Fighter.  Really interesting reading if you ask me.   The real gem here is that this guy who put together the thing on Darkie referenced a website called: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toothpasteworld.com\/default.htm\">Toothpasteworld<\/a>.  Toothpasteworld is an amazing look back at one dentist&#8217;s massive collection of novelty toothpastes, which by some measures, numbers over 1400 distinct tubes of toothpaste.  A truly noble pursuit.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was doing a little research this evening, don&#8217;t ask me into what, and uncovered a little ditty called &#8220;Darkie Toothpaste&#8221;.
