运动鞋品牌匡威（Converse）发布的一则Instagram广告引发广泛批评，因其中出现的视觉元素被指暗含种族歧视寓意 1。广告中K-pop歌手Karina穿着的裙子上的白色三角形光影被批评人士认为似乎联想到三K党头套，而她手持运动鞋的姿态则被指像是私刑受害者下垂的双脚 1。
面对舆论压力，匡威在周五发表声明道歉，表示"我们为此道歉。我们理解这张图像为何令人深感不安，并承认我们犯了错误"，随后将该广告从平台撤下 1。然而，该公司拒绝回答关于广告审核流程的相关问询 1。民权律师Lee Merritt在Instagram上批评道："我们不断重复这样的对话，因为企业们一直在同样的问题上失手" 1。此前8月份，零售商Target也曾因类似原因从货架撤下儿童万圣节服装 1。
Converse has issued an apology and withdrawn an Instagram advertisement featuring K-pop artist Karina after critics argued the imagery invoked racist symbolism. 1 The campaign, which promoted the Chuck 70 X sneaker, drew backlash over elements in the photograph that observers said resembled troubling historical references: white triangular shapes on Karina's skirt were compared to KKK regalia, while her pose holding the sneaker was likened to the hanging posture of lynching victims. 1
In a Friday statement, the footwear brand acknowledged the controversy, saying: "We're sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong." 1 However, the company declined to answer questions about its advertising review process, prompting further criticism over inadequate oversight. 1 Civil rights attorney Lee Merritt commented on Instagram: "We keep having this conversation because corporations keep failing the same test," 1 highlighting a pattern of similar controversies. In August, Target removed children's Halloween costumes from shelves following comparable concerns. 1
