L’Oréal’s first transgender model learns about consequences after claiming all whites are racists

L’Oréal Paris has fired its first transgender model after her Facebook rant blasting all white people as racist.

The French cosmetics giant made the decision just days after announcing that British transgender model Munroe Bergdorf would be “the face of modern diversity” as one of five ambassadors in L’Oreal’s “YoursTruly True Match” campaign, according to Time.

Sic semper racist scum.

Yeah.... looks like L'Oreal discovered too late the reality that diversity and inclusiveness isn't what it's cracked up (pardon pun) to be..... since some of those transgender people really are 'off their rockers'.  CBS found out the hard way by putting Audrey Middleton (aka Adam Middleton) on their reality show, Big Brother.  He/she/it turned out to be one of THE biggest mentally dysfunctional loons on TV evah.

Ms Bergdorf wrote: "I stand for tolerance and acceptance – but neither can be achieved if we are unwilling to discuss WHY intolerance and hate exist in the first place."

The model also advised people boycott the company, writing: "'Sit still and smile in a beauty campaign 'championing diversity'. But don't actually speak about the fact that lack of diversity and is due to racism. Or speak about the origins of racism. It'll cost you your job'.

"This makeup brand cares about nothing but MONEY. I urge you to boycot L'Oréal Paris. I can't express how disappointed I am in the entire team in dealing with misquotes that were entirely placed out of context."

Yeah....That is a good strategy...  call for a boycott.

If "she" wants to know where racism comes from, "she" need look no further than "her" own mirror.

But what comes out of it is another story...

And neither one does anything for me.

Like any business would hire it after that...

I guess the fashion world still has to deal with actual people who still speak English, rather than Newspeak.  In the fever-swamps of academe where English has been replaced with a real-world analogue of Newspeak in which words like "racist", "fascist", and "health care" (to choose the most prominent examples) denote whatever the left wants them to mean in any given context (but with the first two always having a strong negative connotation, the last having a positive connotation, whatever they are being used to refer to), the assertion "all whites are racist" is a truism since one of the Newspeak meanings for "racist" is "white person".

I find a certain irony in an industry whose raison d'etre (That there's French, JimBob! From Paris, France!) is putting lipstick on pigs, that when the pig squeals and grunts, the industry runs from it.
