I've been thinking this for a long time..........

 

I believe I recently saw quite a few shades of cocoa, coffee, etc., etc. on HSN.  Bras and panties.

 

Even though I have fair-ish skin, more or less, I've always loved the various shades of coffee, etc. in lingerie. 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I have shopped with both QVC and HSN also Zulily. It is increasingly concerning to me at a time when diversity and inclusion is forefront , that the QVC group continues to use the description of nude/natural and skin tone in descriptions of clothing etc. NOT EVERYONE IS BEIGE. i am a woman of colour as many of you customers are and I am fed up of being lumped in as nude skin shade,. If you truly want to be inclusive change your dialogue and offer a range of "skin Tones'


Although I understand your point, if this is so irritating for you, I hope you've brought it up long before now. If not, it just looks like you're just jumping on the 'take offense bandwagon' that's been going on lately.

I think it's a valid comment, since we all have made various comments and complaints about many, many things.

 

I take it as an observation, not that the poster is highly offended or that it's a deal breaker for QVC.  

 

I've made negative comments in some posts, and it's just my opinion, as we all have different observations and opinions on lots of different topics. 

 

Even crayola crayons came out of a "colors of the world" set of crayons to help kids have their own skin color when coloring.

I'd like to suggest you find a way to recharge.  Compassion, tolerance, and patience are desperately needed now.

The words diversity and inclusion need to thrown away.  It just sounds bad, and a companies attempt to indoctrinate people.

LOL, I can figuratively hear the Internet crashing if manufacturers suddenly decided that "nude" is now shades of brown and black.

 

Bet the name of a color would then take on added importance to many that think @Melly52 is making an unreasonable point or that it isn't important or is "reaching to be offended".
