Is the commenter wrong? While I would not go call the goyish company about such a picture as I have written above, for a frum website which supposedly keeps to standards of tznius to post it is problematic. Many read the site specifically to keep away from such pictures.

Of course the article itself is pretty straightforward.

The issue has nothing to do with her elbows. Doesn't anyone else see whats wrong with depicting a black woman in slave dress picking coffee cherries on your packaging?

Now wouldn't all those that opposed calling for the pic issue agree that for the slave issue you can call?

I think everyone would agree if it was a swastika, right? Let's try to keep things in context
