Say more about this. Which choices were off? What was off about them? Mere acknowledgement and genuine apology are not the same thing"Say more about this. Which choices were off? What was off about them? Mere acknowledgement and genuine apology are not the same thing," shared one follower.
The resurfaced clip that appeared to ignite the backlash showcased the panel of judges scolding contestant Danielle"Dani" Evans for refusing to get the gap in her front teeth filled back in 2006, as they announced it would leave her"unmarketable."The show, however, asked contestant Chelsey Hersley in 2010 to widen the gap in her front teeth, which spawned cries of racial inequality on social media, as Chelsey is white and Dani is Black.
Another old clip focused on the racially insensitive moment when a judge on the panel told contestant Yaya,"You have this intensity to prove your African-ness that I think sometimes is overbearing." In a different season, the judges said contestant Toccaro had to lose 150 pounds to be considered a model, to which Tyra stepped in to defend the young woman.
