All tag results for 'racist'

Okay, really? This is really still happening???

Apparently Vogue Netherlands missed the multiple memos that blackface is never okay, because they are the latest guilty party.

The publication ran a spread in their May issue honoring Marc Jacobs and in a poor attempt to pay homage to his 2008-2009 muses Grace Jones and Josephine Baker they painted model Querelle Jansen's face black.

This is just wrong.

Wouldn't it have just been easier to hire an African American model?

Apparently not.

Thoughts???

This could be the worst apology we’ve heard since Gap's racist tee fiasco!

Spanish clothier Mango recently came under fire for a necklace and bracelet set that was named “estilo esclavo,” which means “slave style” in English.

Two French actresses, Aissa Maiga and Sonia Rolland, brought attention to the issue by starting a “Slavery is not Fashion” petition, which garnered 1,604 signatures AND an apology from the company that stated:

Srsly, what is their deal?!

Numero magazine has already been accused of using blackface once before, but they clearly didn’t learn their lesson!

In their current issue, Ondria Hardin, a white, 16-year-old model posed for Numero’s African Queen spread, with her skin painted black.

There is no need for this with all of the gorgeous black models out there.

They could have even found a woman who was actually African if they felt like looking!

Such a shame! Hopefully it doesn’t happen again!

Thoughts???

How do these things keep happening?

You would think people learned their lesson after Dolce & Gabbana’s questionable collection, but not Anthropology!

The retailer released this Trinket & Treasure Candlestick (above), with a $400 price tag and described it as "one of a kind." What they forgot to mention is that it's

It wasn't enough that Illamasqua provides services for the deceased, but now they're latest Blackface and Whiteface makeup campaign is causing all sorts of dramz.

In the dueling holiday ads, one model is completely covered in white makeup and the other in black and share the same tagline "I'm Not Dreaming of a White Christmas".

Face palm!

If only we could get this kind of outrage over their photoshopping!

Victoria’s Secret has yanked their new Go East lingerie collection after many accused the panty giant of being racist.

The Sexy Little Geisha ensemble portrays a beaming Candice Swanepoel dressed in a mesh teddy with "flirty cutouts" posing with a fan and tasseled chopsticks.

The lingerie is like any other, but since people often confuse Geishas for prostitutes, it has come off as offensive.

VS has yet to release a statement, but we're glad to see they did the right thing and quickly removed it.

What The Actual F**k???

Baker Skateboards has a lot of explainin' to do.

They're being accused or being total racists after releasing a new T-shirt that reads "Gooks of Hazzard" with the tagline "Good Orr Boys" above a cartoon of two Asian characters - one of them being pro-skater Don "The Nuge" Nguyen, who apparently approves of the shirt.

The company, which is owned by skating legend Andrew Reynolds, is now under fire
