"Oh God, Have I just ruined my career?" she asked. It won't hurt her at all.
But if a white actor said something about "nappy hair"...

Whoa there!
Racism?
You’d have to be in orbit around Alpha Centauri to be farther off!
What’s wrong with ‘bi-racial’? Therefore not claiming to be all of either parent’s race?
You say it’s society’s fault for forcing mixed race people to identify as one or the other race( usually black if there’s a drop of black blood anywhere), now you think it’s racist if I DON’T think that way? Now, telling mixed-race people they can claim all of their genetic heritage is pushing their African-ness down and believing everything good about them is due to European ancestry?
That’s a helluva conclusion to jump to!
And it, in itself, is racist.

Exactly!
But I’m willing to bet underwater property in New Orleans that she would NOT accept a sweet apology if someone else had made a comment about black people’s noses! That would be racist!
What she said isn’t?

Of course it is racist. But she is half white. She does not acknowledge her white side instead she acknowledges the father that abandoned her as a child.

Supposedly it was one of Berrys Jewish assistants who made the Jewish cousin suggestion. That means she had time to think it over.
To: laweeks
Ironically she’s actually had her nose “thined” earlier in her career. Check out the film she made with Eddie Murphy.

Of course, follow the money....

Lets see. She’s the one that one the Academy Award that year that Hollywood felt they had to award one to a “black” actress, right? A gratuitous award.
To: blam
Well..she was right....it does.

Well you are right of course, it is called the ‘one drop’ rule. That is where terms like Quadroon, Octaroon, and ‘High Yellow’ came from. Many states, before the civil war, both north and south, had laws forbidding free blacks from living there, blacks being any one with a single known black ancestor (or who looked that way, and could not prove otherwise). This was revolting racial bigotry which 20 years ago we seemed to be getting rid of, but is coming back in a distorted way these days, through victimization politics.
