You'd run out of dictators pretty fast, especially dictators that don't happen to be propped by the US.
Sweden's issues: White bandages are racist.

Are white lab coats racist?
Sweden's nationalists or fascists as you wrote above (I think "Swedish" would be a wrong term here, so I write Sweden's):
I guess the bottom four have seen the crap around the world and won't let Sweden turn into one, while the top four have no clue what's going on outside Sweden, think it can't possibly get worse, and are turning Sweden into a kind of country from which the bottom four had immigrated (or their parents).
Is my diagnosis correct?
I 100% agree with your analysis.

One does have to wonder why Johnson and Johnson doesn't produce band-aids in a variety of skin tones. After all, that is the reason they aren't actually white at all but "flesh colored".

Well, minorities don't make for large, profitable markets. Another symptom of the disease that is the lingering inequalities they suffer. And it is important to treat the disease, not the symptom.

But how do we reduce paper cuts?

They've never once matched my skin colour. It hasn't bothered me that it doesn't.

The point is that it wouldn't cost Johnson and Johnson all that much to provide band-aids in a variety of different skin tones. I guess they figure blacks and other minorities will still buy the "skin colored" ones anyway while assuming they are a bunch of racists. It would actually be good PR for the firm. But yet they still refuse to do so.
Their product line consists of a lot of different health and beauty aids. Yet not one of them targets a black or minority audience.
That might make some sense if you weren't white.
But the same premise still holds. They should also provide various skin tones for whites as well.
Maybe sub-saharan companies could make 'black' band-aids, and if they sell there they can export or cause other companies to follow suit.
Although i have to doubt that they care much if they aren't into SJW issues instead of actual important issues.

There are various shades of white but anyway there are multiple colours to choose from and you can even get ones with cartoon characters for children.

No it isn't. You post a near-anectodical crude web image that's a really crappy representation of the makeup of Swedish political parties. Sweden is populated enough that *four* people of non-Scandinavian complexion will show up in their nationalist wings.
Also, the second of the bottom four is Paula Bieler. She's born and raised in Sweden. You're naïve if you think the genetic makeup of Sweden is straight out blonde.
Educate yourself.

So that makes it even worse. They are clearly not making any specifically for blacks or darker skinned individuals to even try to match their "skin color", yet they have no problem at pandering to other even smaller markets.

I'm not too sure about that. You'll have to demonstrate that more convincingly. Tell me how multiple production lines and increased logistical complexity to capture smaller markets is profitable.
Children are a small market for bandages. Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
Why are you so convinced it's a matter of the company management having a raging hatred for minorities as opposed to an issue of perceived revenue-cost streams?

Sure it was anecdotal, nothing out of the ordinary around here. However, there seems to be an interesting trend for this "national-conservative anti-immigrant party of Sweden": their support from immigrants - people not born in Sweden - have increased fivefold over the last year or so. Last percentage I saw was 8,5%, which is quite high imo. I believe there's reason to assume that number is higher for second and third generation immigrants. - Another anecdote from Sweden.

What part of a huge PR win is so difficult to understand? After all, they already have "multiple production lines and increased logistical complexity" to pander to so many other relatively small groups in this regard already.
Yet they have band-aids specifically for them where they even have to pay royalties to other companies to use their trademarked designs. "Are you sure you know what you are talking about? "
Why are you so convinced they aren't given that they have such a broad product line, yet not a single product caters to blacks or any other minority market? It is like they intentionally go out of their way to not cater to them whatsoever.
Thread topic/links originally found at TWC.
It is about the horrible lack of black bandages, which is attributed to racism. (although apparently, at least in the US, there was an attempt to introduce black bandages, but the company went bankrupt due to very poor sales)

"A complaint by a feminist, anti-racist blogger has prompted a Swedish pharmacy chain to search out a manufacturer of dark band-aids".

What do you think of this new moral outrage? Is the religion of Sweden now Social Justice?
Sweden Yes.
This is the exact kind of thing that prevents SJWs from ever being taken seriously. This is the absolute epitome of seeing racism and social inequality where there is none.
And let's assume that bandages are white because of some vast racist conspiracy: Who the hell cares? I seriously doubt a black or brown person is going to lament about the color of the bandage the paramedic or doctor uses to patch them up. I would assume any rational human being, regardless of skin color, would just appreciate that the bandage is doing its job of stopping bleeding and helping to prevent infection.
