Bras are racist....let's lose 'em ladies! (by WalkSoftly)
""The editorial board of a college
newspaper has declared that bras are
racist because they come in colors
named “nude,” since non-white
people’s skin isn’t that color when they’re
nude.
“How would it make you feel that the fashion
industry and society at large has based its
ideal of nude on Caucasian people? That the
color of your skin doesn’t count as ‘nude’?”
asks the staff editorial, published by the
Oklahoma Daily , the official newspaper of the
University of Oklahoma.
The board used the same reasoning to
conclude that that “nude” makeup, “flesh-
colored” clothing, and Band-Aids were also
racist.
The piece referred to the bra color name as
one of the “subtle examples of racism” —
often referred to as a “microaggression” —
that apparently runs rampant in our society
today.
The board apparently intended to use the
piece as a way to encourage Americans to
fight against this injustice.
“We encourage all of our readers to think
critically about the small instances of racial
bias they encounter each and every day,” the
editorial said.""
