Skin-tone plasters

Big changes coming from the Employee Forum. We are getting a variety of skin-tone plasters (band-aid) for the first aid kit. What sort of insane social justice warrior asked for that?

If anything, the default plaster is brown so us white folk need lighter ones.

This is the most extreme woke thing I have ever heard of. I don’t think we will beat it.

Skin Tone Plasters.  A great shout and a big thank you for the lack of variety being highlighted to the Employee Forum.  Aligning to our environmental credentials, the incumbent plasters will remain where they’re within a 3yr use-by lifespan.  As we move to replace, this will be done with a wide variety of skin colour matching plasters. 

I asked a friend what he thought of this:

Jack: I've heard of this before, so dumb
 
Me: Bet we get sacked for using the black plaster
 
Jack: Haha I would, just to make a point. Whoever came up with this has too much time on their hands, and whoever gets upset about wearing a wrong coloured plaster is a melt
 
Me: I should swap 'em with kids ones with cartoon characters on them

I do raise a good point there. If you did use the wrong colour plaster, would people get offended? What happens if you took the last dark-skinned one and someone saw you and they wanted it?

How often do you need a plaster when you are in the office? If the plaster is in a visible part of your body, is the presence of the plaster uncomfortable/embarrassing anyway regardless of colour? I think the default brown one is probably a good compromise for all skin types anyway, but I suppose modern ones can be white or transparent. 

This surely has to be a case of a white person suggesting this, using their wokeness to raise an injustice against darker skinned people, even though no dark-skinned person was actually offended. However, if you now take the plaster that is reserved for them; then they will be offended.

Do we have the same policy in regards to bandages? They are usually white too.
