BBC removes article claiming bare nails trend perpetuates ‘White supremacist’ beauty standards

The BBC removed an article that suggested the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted could perpetuate “White supremacist” beauty standards after it drew backlash Saturday.

The original article, “How the bare nails trend became a class issue,” explored the beauty trend of women preferring clear and polished “naked” nails over the more stylish nail designs over the past few years.

The BBC reported that while some consider this trend part of the ever-shifting standards in fashion, critics suggested the image said “something about class” and could potentially stigmatize Black, Latino and Asian communities that popularized heavily designed nails.

“That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to [B]lack and [B]rown communities,” beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo told the BBC.

“They are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate [W]hite supremacist standards of beauty.”

It’s been a while, well, a few years, since this kind of insane garbage was gracing the pages of large media outlets. They mostly go with TDS. But, it does go to show that the Wacko left never gives up on certain ideas.

They don’t need any sort of drugs to be batguano insane moonbats. Anyhow, the BBC originally took it down saying it needed “editorial review”, and now it’s just a 401. The link in the 2nd paragraph goes to an Internet Archive version. From that piece

“I think getting [your] nails done is tacky now, because who’s got an hour to waste?” one 25-year-old tells the BBC, adding, “also, I lift weights in the gym, so I don’t want to snap a nail and waste money.”

But there are those who think the trend – or the way it’s being discussed by some – belies something more sinister.

Sinister? Oh, LOLOLOLOLOL

“The same way that logo bags are considered gauche or quiet luxury is more aspirational, bare nails are considered the trend now.

“The examples are almost always white women or celebrities… [and] they’ll often conflate class and taste with that bareness.”

Get bent. Also, the long nails, especially when they have a point, are nasty.

But, hey, let’s also not forget this recent bit of raaaaacism

But

It’s whitey’s fault, right?
