After PC row over mudpacks... NOW FAKE TAN IS RACIST!

-

GETTING a fake tan is RACIST and almost as bad as clapping a black person in chains and forcing them to work on your sugar plantation.

That’s the opinion of a loon who launched a tirade against fake tan after reading about the case of 18-year-old Olivia Shires – who left her product on too long and was left with a deep chestnut face.

The story enraged sanctimoni­ous Twitter user “Ssika Ej”, who ranted: “I’m pretty the racist thing is wearing fake tan a million times darker than your skin tone and stealing the colour of oppressed people, not seeing the issue with it and making black face jokes. what’s ignorant is not understand­ing the cultural appropriat­ion and underlying racism.

“It’s like because you can’t enslave them in modern society you’ll do ANYTHING to become them – you try to steal their identity.

“The issue does not lie with a little bit of fake tan to give you a natural colour like the sun kissed your skin. It’s the fact that if you wanted to, you have the CHOICE to take these things off or not have them at all. Black people and other POCs (people of colour) have never been given the choice.”

Women’s MUD PACKS were recently blasted as racist because they look a bit like the “blackface” makeup used by the old Black and White Minstrels. While Katy Perry and fashion brand Gucci have also been forced to apologise after upsetting various over-sensitive rabblerous­ers. TANNED TANTRUM: Tweet rant
