L'Oreal has been found guilty of racism!
Urrrmmm... am I the only one who's thinking well, duh! They've been doing it for years!!!
There was a massive up-roar when they were accused of 'whitening' Beyonce Knowles' skin in an ad (because we all know Bey isn't thaaaat pale), and now they have been found guilty of racial discrimination, in France, because of their all-white recruitment policy.
The "beauty" division at L'Oreal was looking to recruit staff and one of the requirements was that they had to be "BBR" (which is apparently an acronym for the colours of the French flag aka white and of French descent).

I have never and WILL NEVER you L'Oreal products, personally I think Beyonce should buy out of her contract, who wants to be associated with a company like that *sigh*
