Dunkin’ Donuts is apologizing on behalf of its franchise in Thailand for their charcoal donut ad campaign, which features a model in blackface with the slogan “Break every rule of deliciousness.”
The donuts have well-received in Thailand where racial stereotypes are often used to sell products like “Black Man” cleaning supplies which has a black butler as its mascot.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” said Nadim Salhani, CEO for the franchise. “We’re not allowed to use black to promote our doughnuts? I don’t get it. What’s the big fuss? What if the product was white and I painted someone white, would that be racist? Not everybody in the world is paranoid about racism.”

Alopecia can mean baldness, a term generally reserved for pattern alopecia or androgenic alopecia. Compulsive pulling of hair (trichotillomania) can also induce hair loss. Hairstyling routines such as tight ponytails or braids may cause traction alopecia. Both hair relaxer solutions, and hot hair irons can also induce hair loss. In some cases, alopecia is due to underlying medical conditions, such as iron deficiency.
Generally, hair loss in patches signifies alopecia areata. Alopecia areata typically presents with sudden hair loss causing patches to appear on the scalp or other
areas of the body. If left untreated, or if the condition does not respond to treatment, complete baldness can result in the affected area, which is referred to as alopecia totalis. When the entire body suffers from complete hair loss, it is referred to as alopecia universalis. It is similar to the effects that occur with chemotherapy.
