International beauty brand Tarte Cosmetics has come under fire for an insensitive meme that was posted to their Instagram.
The post included the words “ching chong” which is a racist term used to describe people of Asian descent.
After loads of hate started pouring in, the social media peeps deleted the post.
Despite the post being deleted, fans have blasted the brand for being racially insensitive.
The brand has issued an apology to their fans, claiming that an intern posted the meme without realising that it contained a racial slur.
“What saddens us even more is seeing our community turn against each other in the comments with hateful & negative language, which is why we’ve disabled them for this post,” they captioned the post.
“Let’s work together to start a more positive conversation. Change starts with us.”
Okay, they’re forgiven!
