Donations would go to support charities for #HUMANRIGHTS / Race /racism

In #HUMANRIGHTS / Race /racism

Nike is facing a backlash in Japan over an advertisement that highlights racial discrimination in the country.
The two-minute commercial has been shared widely on social media, and some users are calling for a boycott of the company.
For its part, Nike is standing by the ad, saying: “Discrimination is a global issue and it exists around the world."
But clearly some in Japan would have been happier if the company had focused on a different part of the world.
