A couple shopping inside a Walmart aisle stopped in front of a pink product display, and the video of that moment later drew a wave of comments online. The clip was posted on TikTok by maria.delmoral, whose caption tagged the retailer.
The video opens with the woman in a black t-shirt holding a white phone and looking down with a slight smile. Beside her, the man in a green t-shirt and black shorts holds a black phone, looks at it, then looks up and smiles. He is also holding an orange bag in his left hand.
The camera then pans right to a pink shelf branded “Flamingo by Harry’s.” Banners on the display read “CELEBRATING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.” The shelves are stocked with small light purple boxes labeled “Flamingo Facial Hair Removal Cream.”
The camera then moved in on the cream and the heritage month signs
As the camera settles on the display, the man is heard saying, “Oh my God, bro. Oh, hell no, man. What the f–k, man?” The video then zooms in on the side of the unit, showing a close-up of a woman applying white cream to her upper lip next to another box of facial hair removal cream. Walmart’s troubles go beyond the display, as a Georgia woman found a distorted image of a Black man on an electronics aisle.
He continues, “Get your a– on.” The comments appeared to reference a longstanding stereotype about Hispanic women and facial hair. According to Healthline, Hispanic women may be more likely to experience hirsutism, a condition that causes excessive body or facial hair. However, the association between Hispanic women and moustaches has largely developed into a cultural stereotype.
Back in 2006, Italian pop star Tiziano Ferro sparked outrage in Mexico after saying that Mexican women have moustaches. “It’s impossible to say that the most beautiful women in the world are in Mexico. No offense but…they have moustaches…I’m sorry, but they know it. Maybe not Salma (Salma Hayek)…”, he had said, according to Banderas NEWS.
Viewers later described a range of responses under the video. Some said they were not offended and treated the display as familiar. Others said they were startled that the setup had been put on the floor.
One commenter said they were not offended and treated the product as part of a regular routine. They wrote, “Not offended one bit because this me every month lmfao,” and shared a photo of themselves with a drawn-on mustache.
Other commenters described an almost automatic reaction of checking their own faces after watching the clip. One wrote, “Not me shocked with my hand over my mouth then feeling my lil stache underneath my fingers how much is it? Lol”
Another said the same thing happened to them. They wrote, “stoppp i did the same thing.” A third commenter wrote, “LITERALLY. exact same thing. i started looking for cameras.” Someone else added, “Staaaahp, I was feeling my chin like “maybe.””
Some commenters framed the joking tone as common rather than angry. One wrote that Latinos making jokes instead of being offended in the comments “just shows we’ve heard worse in family gatherings.” In a follow-up, that same commenter said they tell their kids, “you think the world is nice? Nawh! I preparing you for LIFE!”
Another reply in that thread said family talk prepares people for a mean world. That commenter added, “Yess this is the way, I feel bad for people who didn’t get raised this way, they let every little thing get them down & it’s hard for them to get back up, & they let it affect them for life, & for us it’s like it is what it is, life goes on.”
Other viewers said they were less focused on jokes and more focused on how the display was approved. One commenter wrote, “My black a– shocked at this & wondering how this even got approved & yal in the comments playing.” Such incidents highlight ongoing concerns about racial profiling in retail spaces, like when a Black man at a Walmart in Oklahoma was asked for his green card by a lady behind him.
