   I think these girls should just be themselves wear what they want have to admit I do not agree with this in my view natural beauty with a touch of make up works best.

   I'm sorry, I must have missed something, because isn't racism supposed to be fuelled by hate? If I dress up as a black person, asian person or anything else for that matter does it automatically make me a white supremist?? I doubt very much that what Tyra Banks has done with her show has anything to do with racism, since she is in fact black. Think the US should stop worrying about people who are just having fun (having fun - NOT making fun of!) and focus more energy on tho ...

   What about the movie White Chicks? the Waylan brothers got away with it as well, black or white we all bleed the same colour.

   totally agree with you, the keeper. typical arrogant yanks. doubt they'll ever clean up their own back yard, too busy watching everyone else's. i was a yank, ran away from that place, now love my life in australia. so much better here. so much more tolerance. may it always be so. ^_^

   If it is good enough for Michael Jackson who had dark skin and was an entertainer to change his appearance to be white, then how come when white entertainer's change their appearance to be dark skinned seems to be wrong . But then again, look who love to tell other nation's how to live their lives ( Namely the Yanks)

   Isn't this the same thing in reverse to what Michael Jackson had been doing for years? Whiteface?

    I think the Media has played a huge part in everything that is reported because apparently it seems we cant do anything right. We cant pretend were black, we cant speak our minds in case we offend others. What next??
