RE: Garnier Commercial Anti Afro?!?

Good morning everyone,

The Garnier company just responded to my email complaint regarding one of their recent culturally insensitive commercials.

I appreciate their quick response, but I just hope that they will actually take this serious and not just brush it off. Here is there response:
