L'Oreal charged with racism in France.

"They sought young women to hand out samples and discuss hairstyling with shoppers. In July 2000, a fax detailing the profile of hostesses sought by L'Oréal stipulated women should be 18 to 22, size 38-42 (UK size 10-14) and "BBR", the initials for bleu, blanc, rouge, the colours of the French flag. Prosecutors argued that BBR, a shorthand used by the far right, was also a well-known code among employers to mean "white" French people and not those of north African, African and Asian backgrounds."

I think this is ridiculous...I totally used their products (until now). I guess now is the perfect time for me to get off my ass and try Carol's Daughter.

And just for kicks, I got into about black hair with some stupids over in
ohnotheydidnt. Some of these folks have no idea...
