White Men Toothpaste On Sale -- To Taiwanese

A challenge to Darlie (in Chinese it is Black Man Toothpaste; before that Darlie was called Darkie. The story goes that U.S. servicemen stationed in Taiwan in the 1970s complained and the name changed from Darkie to Darlie. I supposed if the name hadn't changed, White Men Toothpaste would have to be called Whitey or Honkie toothpaste. I came across White Men Toothpaste in a variety store in Chushan, Nantou County, Taiwan.
