China is apparently having an existential crisis over ... freckles ... on social media. The nation is furiously arguing about photos of a top Chinese model after she appeared in a new Zara cosmetics ad without enough makeup to hide her pale dusting of freckles.

Social media users on Weibo Chinas version of Twitter accused the Spanish company of insulting or uglifying China by photographing model Li Jingwen with her freckles clearly visible in the ad, which was released on Friday, reported the South China Morning Post.

Selling products in China had better respect Chinese peoples aesthetic taste, wrote one annoyed Weibo user. I dont understand why Zara showed this face with a lot of freckles.
