Look at your hands, ladies. Stare at your girl’s fingers, gentlemen. Do you see color? Great. Do you see bare, seemingly innocuous, unpainted nails? Well then, I regret to inform you: that’s racist.
According to the ever-wise, prudent, almighty network that is the BBC, the bare-nails trend is really just a racist dog whistle promoting “white supremacist standards of beauty.” It’s a class issue, apparently. But not the way you think. It isn’t that you’re busy, broke, or a card-carrying minimalist. No, no, Susan. You’re targeting communities of color, you racist bigot.
