From shocking comments made in the media to instances of police brutality, it’s clear to see that there is still a lot of work to be done.
It’s also not a huge surprise that racism has been pretty prevalent in Hollywood. Actors and actresses have talked about the lack of roles for people of color for years now. Models have even complained that makeup artists and hairstylists are not trained to apply cosmetics or style hair for people of color.
Unfortunately, there are some celebrities who are racist, but they just don’t want you to know it. Sure, some of these famous people have said things that can clearly be interpreted as racist, but they don’t want this negative label associated with their names. That doesn’t mean that they necessarily want to adopt a new world view, though. Fortunately, some of these celebrities have seen the error of their ways, and will hopefully learn to speak carefully in the future. Here are 12 celebrities who don’t want you to know they’re racist.
12. Kelly Osbourne
Television host, singer and fashion designer Kelly Osbourne, definitely put her foot in her mouth recently when she made some racist comments while co-hosting on The View. She didn’t exactly mean for the comments to be offensive, though. Kelly was actually trying to refute Donald Trump’scomments about Mexicans in his campaign speech. She said, “if you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” It’s easy to see why the Latino community wasn’t too happy with Osbourne’s comment. Kelly issued a public apology on her page, saying that she always takes responsibility or her actions, and that she messed up, but she’s not racist. Some say the apology is just a way to retain her fan base, and that if she didn’t really mean what she said about Latinos, she wouldn’t have said it.
