So this is a genuine - not trolling - But, you are absolutely right that we’ve never been anything but cognizant of races in modern society. But, part of the consequences and impact (positive or negative,) of race is from how others and society as a whole treat us. If she was seen by the public at large as a black…

I care because I think about all the bad sex those poor girls must be having. There’s simply no way a 40 year old guy who only dates women under 25 is any good in bed.

Such a cliche... guys like him make my blood boil, it’s just. ugh.

Can they like, take his Oscar away for being such a cliché?

I think we’ve all come to realize that some people really, really, really want to be offended. Constantly.

Okay, but look what we’re reduced to here, stretching ourselves to determine whether there is or isn’t something wrong with some stupid ad. If there was a problem we wouldn’t be guessing, we’d know.

Not pictured: the Gap Kids ad from just a few years ago wherein a black model was using a white model as an armrest in almost the exact same pose.

I think you’re right on about this! My husband works at a restaurant popular with actors and said she was his height (just under 6') in flip flops. Incidentally, she’s always been one of those people that I thought would be crazy beautiful in real life, but he said she was normal looking other than her height. She…

Kate Winslet is gorgeous.

I don’t think anybody would be criticizing Charlize if she was opening up about depression or talking about how she’s been sexually harassed. There’s a pretty big difference between those experiences and complaining about not getting the roles you want in movies because you’re too gorgeous. The former are common…

she is beautiful. but with monster she has proven she can be ugly too. so, maybe she should go to castings for these “serious” movies dressed down.

Does she realize that she would never have been cast in anything ever if she weren’t beautiful?

I’m starting to understand what Charlize and Sean Penn shared in common.

Charlize. If you were unattractive nobody would even know your name. You would have been selected for approximately zero movie roles.

I've never heard someone refer to themselves as gorgeous. Wow.

Is Charlize beloved? I thought it was pretty well established fact that she’s an asshole (and this story seems to bolster that theory)...

NO! None of them are attractive. This is the Justin Timberlake nonsense all over again.

I’m glad she’s trying to say the right thing , but I wish she’d say something like “I really don’t need to comment on anyone else’s body. No one should.” End of story.

but I don’t think Ashley is big like that! She’s not a beast!

Or she could have said “Who cares if she’s fat? It shouldn’t matter.” She pretty much said “Ashley is okay because she isn’t /that/ fat.”
