Regardless of her skills, let's talk about the statement that she "most embodied the qualities of the role". of an African goddess.
an African goddess,
more than any woman of actual African descent.
and then based on looking for a makeup artist, she also most embodies the Asian role.
a message that, especially shared publicly, by someone with a high profile, through the lens of all that is going on in America, is so detrimental. There is an undercurrent of 'white is better' in America, and it is causing massive social problems
this project was a huge opportunity to promote diversity and respect world culture. This message does the opposite.
I edited my original statement, because while it did express what I meant, after thinking about it, it is not the most productive way to say it.
