Darky, or darkie, is a term used primarily in the United Kingdom and United States to refer to black people, and is now generally considered disrespectful. The packaging featured an image of a wide-eyed, smiling dark-skinned black male wearing a top hat, monocle and bow-tie, an image associated with minstrel shows.
In 1990, after Colgate-Palmolive acquired Hawley & Hazel, the English name of the toothpaste was changed to "Darlie", and the image on the packaging was altered to show a racially ambiguous face in a top hat to avoid racial misunderstanding.[2] However, the Chinese name of the brand, "????" (in English, "Black Person Toothpaste"), remains the same, and a Chinese-language advertising campaign reassured customers that "Black Person Toothpaste is still Black Person Toothpaste".[3]
After the Colgate acquisition the toothpaste continued to be sold in some Asian countries, including China, Malaysia and Thailand where its brand and logo are not considered offensive. Colgate announced the product would not be sold outside of Asia.[4] As of 1989, the toothpaste held a 75 market share in Taiwan, 50 in Singapore, 30 in Malaysia and Hong Kong and 20 in Thailand.[5]
The brand received an increase of both popularity and infamy in 2004,[citation needed] after the toothpaste, along with other allegedly racist brands, were featured in the mockumentary CSA: Confederate States of America. It was depicted as a fictional brand that is popular in the alternate history of the film; the final credits reveal that it, along with most of the other brands, is a genuine product.
