French cosmetics giant L’Oréal has been found guilty of racial discrimination “for considering black, Arab and Asian women unworthy of selling its shampoo.”
This is shocking news considering the makeup maven’s television and editorial ads feature celeb beauties of color including Beyonce, Eva Longoria Parker, and Kerry Washington.
According to reports, “France’s highest court was told that the group had sought an all-white team of sales staff to promote Fructis Style, a haircare product made by Garnier, L’Oréal’s beauty division.”
Well, Hot Mamas, I guess this means that we’re not worth it. Will this ruling stop you from purchasing L’Oréal products?
