London Mayor Sadiq Khan revealed the winner of an award for “diversity in advertising” which featured, you guessed it, zero white people.
“London’s greatest strength is our diversity, so we challenged advertisers to produce ads that better represented our BAME communities,” tweeted Khan.
I’m proud to unveil Nubian Skin as the winner of this year’s TfL Diversity in Advertising Competition. Look out for their empowering, inclusive adverts on the @TfL network. pic.twitter.com/uUjvSG7t5d

The poster features six scantily clad brown and black people advertising Nubian, a company that sells underwear for people with darker skin tones.
Khan said the ad was “empowering, inclusive,” just not very inclusive of white people.
This is yet more confirmation that “diversity” is just a euphemism which means ‘no white people’. The ad didn’t even feature the usual token white.
The judging panel praised Nubian Skin for their bold and empowering campaign – celebrating different body types and skin tones which are underrepresented in advertising. To find out more about the competition please go to: https://t.co/F5777tUa88

“How is making everybody black ‘diversity’?” asked black rapper Zuby. “Can’t we all just go back to being normal and get along? People are tired.”
How is making everybody black 'diversity'? ?
Can't we all just go back to being normal and get along? People are tired.

“The judging panel praised Nubian Skin for their bold and empowering campaign – celebrating different body types and skin tones which are underrepresented in advertising,” added Khan.
Respondents pointed out another body type and skin tone that is underrepresented in advertising – attractive white people – since Khan has banned such advertisements from being seen.

Last year, a Volkswagen commercial was also banned in the UK for violating “gender stereotypes” because it showed a woman caring for a baby. She was also white.
Another ad seen on the London Underground that was allowed featured a white character and lectured male commuters not to “manspread”.
Now do female bagspreading. pic.twitter.com/Gdm7hVlzfV

Ads promoting the homophobic country of Brunei which stones gay people to death are also fine.
Meanwhile, the only ads featuring all white characters in London appear to be those encouraging white people to sterilize themselves.
