Watch | Chinese detergent maker sorry for harm done by racist ad

Remember the Chinese ad that was being called the most racist ad ever? The laundry detergent maker has now apologized for the harm caused by the spread of an ad in which a black man “washed” by its product, Qiaobi laundry detergent, was transformed into a fair-skinned Asian man. Shanghai Leishang Cosmetics Ltd. Co. said it strongly shuns and condemns racial discrimination but blamed foreign media for amplifying the ad, which first appeared on Chinese social media in March but was halted after it drew protests this week following media reports.
