The answer is: It's important to apply subtlety and sensitivity.

If we do not use subtle/sensitive language when we market to ethnic consumers, there would be a good chance that the ethnic consumers would feel objectified and perceived that their culture is simply used as a marketing tool by our company. This would decrease their likelihood of using the product.
