I hesitate to even quote this racist rant, but I can’t summarize it without sounding like I’m exaggerating. Mr. Walsh posted: “There’s not a single person on the planet who actually thinks Lupita Nyong’o is the most beautiful woman in the world.

I’m afraid to do anything that even slightly challenges the zeitgeist. ” Elon Musk replied, “That’s right.”
in Elle In an interview, Nyong’o said, “Our cast represents the world. I don’t spend my time thinking of defenses.

You want to know who the character is. What’s beyond beauty? What’s beyond looks?”
Clearly, this racism is not worth engaging with… Yet I can’t help but point out that when you do an image search for “world’s most beautiful women” on Google, the person whose face most often appears at the top of the search results is Lupita Nyong’o, who was also named “Most Beautiful Woman” by the U.S. government. people magazine.
