What people are those then mate? Not even sure what the point of this post is or what it means. Strange that you would just pick that one bit of my post when if anything I was actually disagreeing with what Chules said.

If someone had posted a comment condemning a group/organisation/movement, whatever the **** you want to call it, then I doubt they'd have been sacked just for that. Whether it's BLM or another group, I don't think they'd be sacked for it. I do think they'd have been sacked for making a comment about an entire race of people like this woman did.

Thanks.

I'm 100% sure that if one of their white models went public with a statement condeming BLM or the counter protesters in Charlottesville, she'd be let go too.

Right now this country is a powder keg of racial divide. L'Oreal did what they had to do under the circumstances. They are a publically traded company afterall.
That's some serious false equivalence there. Also, I'm not sure how it's about the US given that we're talking about a French company and a British model.

Not necessarily.
