As MB Quirk at The Consumerist points out, "I'm inclined to think, and I hope I'm right, that Dove is really saying any woman of any color could get lovely skin instead of rough by lathering up with this wash. Either way, whoever approved this ad should get a thump on the head and a 'What were you thinking?'"
What were they thinking indeed... especially since Unilever, who owns Dove, actually is in the skin-whitening business in South Asia.

"Self-Esteem" my lily white ass...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I to think that all of the fuss was caused by one simple mistake - a faulty layout. Dove's message of "real beauty" simply doesn't translate here.
