If You Have Tan Skin, You Might Be A Racist…Just Ask Jennifer Aniston
Snowflakes are offended once again, this time it’s because of Jennifer Aniston.
It’s nothing she said or did, but all because of a photo for the cover of In Style magazine. People are upset because her tan is too dark in the cover photo, therefore, that’s racist.
The caption from the magazine’s post read, “Jennifer Aniston has been a beacon of American glamour for the past 25 years, and now she’s stretching her boundaries. In a series of five newsstand covers (just try to choose a favorite), she channels iconic beauty looks from the ‘60s and ‘70s.
But, some people who saw the post from the magazine thought the photo was strange because of the dark tan Aniston had in the photo.
It wasn’t very long before some people started attacking Aniston and the magazine both for “appropriating” black culture with the woman’s tan.
One Instagram user said, “I get that these covers are supposed to be channeling the glamour of yesteryear but that ‘glamour’ routinely marginalized women of color for white women (whether made tan or otherwise). Seeing Jennifer Aniston several shades darker than normal reminds me of that legacy. In 2019, if you want a brown skinned woman on your cover, put a brown-skinned woman on your cover.”
Are you serious? A white woman can’t be tan? Is there a limit to how much of a tan she can have? It blows my mind that people don’t realize that they’re actually the ones being racist when they accuse someone else of doing something as innocent as having a tan of being racist.
Other people ridiculously compared Aniston to Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who claimed she was a black woman for over a decade before finally being exposed and having two white parents.
Ultimately, the magazine has started deleting some of these stupid comments and Aniston wisely has refused to comment on the matter.
