A backlash has forced the disgraced, far-left BBC to remove an article that declared “bare nails” racist.
That’s “bare nails,” as in fingernails, as in women choosing to not have their fingernails colored with nail polish.
That’s now considered racist, y’all.
Why?
Because when the market for racism is as starved as it is for actual racism, the market is filled with crap like this… “Nail art’s historical and creative roots are linked back to black, Latino, and Asian communities and the suggestion that bare nails are now a sign of high status could stigmatise bold manicures,” wrote the BCC.
“That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities, some “beauty journalist” told the dumbasses at the BBC, who decided that blather was worth reprinting.
This was not some silly blog-style article at the BBC. No, sir. This was a big deal. Two so-called reporters, Tiffanie Turnbull and Simran Sohal, devoted about 1400 words and multiple interviews to this retardery. If it weren’t such a ridiculous subject, you would call that amount of time and effort put into this “deeply researched and reported.”
Yes, this article just goes on and on and on, desperate to use a pile of “reporting” to gloss over what it really is — a pile of First World nonsense: “The examples are almost always white women or celebrities… [and] they’ll often conflate class and taste with that bareness.”
For some reason, probably because they are awful people, some people just need racism to exist, and because there is so little real racism, they invent it. That’s all this is — the BBC inventing racism.

Sometimes when women routinely color their nails, it winds up discoloring the natural nail; so instead of a nice, healthy, natural nail, the nails look dirty or sick.
Probably fun to have when you’re playing with your kitty ...
(hmmmm) ....
So is it just women w/o painted nails that are racist? Or men too?
What about toe nails? Is a person with painted fingernails but not toe nails only 1/2 racist?
What if a black chick doesn’t have painted fingernails? Is she a self-loathing black?
This is all too new to me. I need more rigidly defined rules.
I gots ta know who be racsis and who not be.
The Biased Broadcasting Company is a complete joke at this point.
I always thought that elaborate nails, long and/or decorated, are an attempt to emulate rich people and make the statement “I don’t have to work”. A lot of jobs can’t be done with long nails or nails with with doo-dads glued on them. I think it signals you are selfish, self absorbed, and proud of being a parasite. It’s just another aspect of our deplorable “hey everyone, look at me” culture.
I think it’s just another form of ‘bling’.
The list of things that are racist just gets longer and longer. Here is a list that I have compiled of things that I have liberals and leftists brand as racist:
Calisthenics
Camping
Chicken and waffles
Classical music
“Cotton-picking” (expession)
Credit lines
Dr. Seuss
Fireworks
Football
Geology
Golf
“Good morning!” (greeting)
Hiking
Mathematics
Mickey Mouse
Mike (first name)
Milk
Niceness
Organizing your pantry
Politeness
Punctuality
Running
Scuba diving
Setting an agenda
Skydiving
Swimming
Tennis
Texas Roadhouse (restaurant)
Thanksgiving (holiday)
Watermelons
Weight control
Yard work
Even if they were not visually disgusting, those fake nails would be a good way to mark those who actually do no real work with their hands.
I just loaded my dishwasher after supper. Even without having to scrub any pots, I would have managed to destroy such nail decoration in the process.
Don’t even want to think about bathroom hygeine involving such hands.
You confirmed what i thought. I am for people doing what they want to do, and I don’t get the tribal mentality around hair or nails or fashion. I am surprised that women who are not African. Asian or Latin who do paint t their nails aren’t attacked for appropriating African, Asian, or Latin culture.
You can add white paint.........
this is all so dumb it makes me want to think of ways to top it...flattening nails with a ball-peen hammer...for example.
Or how about having every other nail pulled out with vise grips, to illustrate suffering under Trump in solidarity with their sisters...same principle as wearing a bomb vest to blow oneself up...
I always think long nails means welfare qween.
Queen
That correction is wascist!
Can they use the OK symbol over there?....
