I have always associated fanciful painted nails with crass conspicuous consumption, a nonverbal proclamation of “Look, I don’t have to do manual labor.”

Whites are racist no matter what we do or don’t do. I’ve been sick of it for a long time now.

Tried out a newly opened restaurant recently, only to have a waiter (man pretending to be a woman) who’s nails were not only painted but also had glued on sequins.
All I could think was “How many has he lost in someone’s food?”
Not sure where that lands on the “racism/sexism” scale.
Doubt the place will be open for long.

They forgot Part II: If white women paint their nails then it is cultural appropriation and that is racist.

The real racists are those that believe there’s a racial component in every action or non-action. In other words, racial obsession.

The reason for all the anti white supremacist non sense is realization that whites actually are supreme

These idiots at the BBC have it exactly backwards.

From Gemini:

Elite Long Fingernails in Imperial China

The privileged class grew long nails to prove they did no physical work, particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Practice: Wealthy scholars, aristocrats, and court officials grew the fingernails on their non-dominant hands exceptionally long—sometimes up to several inches.

The Symbolism: It explicitly signaled extreme wealth and elite status. It proved to society that they never had to engage in manual or physical labor, which would instantly break the delicate nails.
