Whether you watch it or not. This week alot of contraversy has been surrounding The newest episode of Americans next top model. Just google it and you can get the whole story. Apparently Tyra was inspired to make the girls portray people who are half of each nationality around the world.

Except one girl being asian and another African american the rest were white. But the Asian girl was covered in dark makeup because she was doing botswana and polynesian. Alot of people called this black face. But America's next top model had racial shots like this before. So again is it like the resident evil 5 game are people over reacting?

((The pictures are in list order))

Erin – Tibetan and Egyptian
Laura – Mexican and Greek
Jennifer – Botswanan and Polynesian
Nicole – Malagasy and Japanese
Brittany – Native American and East Indian
Sundai – Moroccan and Russian

I do think people are overreacting.

I find it funny that the girl who is already dark didn't have to change her skin tone. rolleyes

Liberal whites and silly Blacks overreacting as usually. I see nothing wrong. If that's the case they should whine about what Spike Lee did...oh wait they did. rofl Sad day when Black people can't become MORE black. Where's the outcry when Black people bleach their skin?

The outcry to bleach came on the Tyra show. And when I found out about it. Me and my friend once went into cvs and pharmacy's and stole them and threw them out.

The sad part is that it's not only some poor black soul. *sigh* Now if only I could find a way to protest against surgeries. I really hate deracialization.

Total over-reaction there. It's not like they had them sing or dance. It was part of a photo shoot done in a tasteful, considerate manner. rolleyes
