Are you fuckin’ for real lmao? Doing the ‘All Lives Matter’ shit AND calling it ‘white pride’? This is deliberate.
The ‘charitable’ side of me thinks they knew and did it for the controversy.
ed: I do appreciate it being pointed out that the ‘white pride’ is indeed a store label, which is not a part of the Skittles branding itself. It does lead me to wonder if they had any idea this would be the labeling used
I think the point they’re trying to say is that only the pride rainbow matters in June, so they’ve removed theirs in an attempt to show people they’re not just a rainbow-washing corporation like the rest. But in the end they’re just using Pride as a marketing tool and are hardly different than the rest.
They’re doing “clever” rainbow washing by forcing you to do the association with Skittles and rainbow in your head. It’s the exact same as the rest, but they can’t add the rainbow to their product, so they have to remove it instead.
Since 2017

The white pride thing is the store’s label.
