Black guy in durag in Tesco Christmas advert!

This year's Christmas advert starts off with a black guy who works for Tesco wearing a blue durag😁 I'd seen the advert a few times but it took me a while to actually realise he was wearing a durag!

Whenever I go Tesco's (south London) I'll often see some younger black guys working their shifts in durags or I'll see some girls in their bonnets/headscarves so I think it's great they've put him in an advert wearing one. It's just a little thing but has got me excited😂

I wondered if anyone else has noticed this?

I want to see the advert. I have a friend who spends his time wearing one to get best waves. The dedication is amazing.

I'm so used to seeing the dourags & headscarves I missed the significance of this. LoL

Wow! So good to see !!!

The advert has the tinge of being crap. It's sorely rubbish. -1/10 Tesco

Was it a WFH job in the advertising dept during lockdown? No durag could ever save this.

I'll stop now.

I never said it was a great advert!😂

Just happy to see a black guy in a durag on a national advert:)

What's great about wearing a du rag? It's an item for bed times. I hate the normalisation of them and bonnets

True but sometimes comfort has to come first🤷🏾‍♀️ especially when you work in retail and you're on an early shift!

Hadn’t watched it properly before, but actually it’s considerably more entertaining than most Christmas adverts! Xmas Grin

Durags in public I can cope with. Bonnets I’m wtf.
My sons LOVE the ad! They feel seen because of that one guy!
