RACIST!! Fox News Tells Reporter To Not "Look Too Latina"

And by "Fox News" I really mean MSNBC
When can we expect such MSNBC stalwarts like Joe & Mika, Cryin' Chuck Todd, Tingly-leg Chris Matthews or Rachel Maddow to often and loudly demand justice for this blatant act of racism?
quote:
An MSNBC reporter says a higher-up at the company told her to not "look too Latina" at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
In her book "Perfectly You: Embracing the Power of Being Real," Venezuela-born Mariana Atencio recounts the 2017 incident, according to NBC News and Newsweek.
The outlets report that Atencio claims she received a phone call from a female manager (who remains unnamed) asking her what she planned to wear to the dinner.
"It was a weird phone call – with an even weirder request," Atencio writes. " ‘Why do you ask?’ I replied. 'Please don’t look too Latina.' At first I thought I didn’t hear correctly. ‘I beg your pardon?’ I asked. ‘When you pick your outfit, I mean. Don’t look too Latina.' "
The manager allegedly didn't stop there with her unsolicited fashion advice.
" 'Why don't you go to Saks Fifth Avenue and have someone help you out,' " Antencio recalls. " 'Have them pick out something demure. Not too colorful or tight. Think Ivanka Trump, OK?' "

Don’t dress hoochie.
Would that have worked?

I think she's lying. Looking for either a lawsuit or a higher-profile in the business.

Only a woman would tell a woman not to look too Latina.
I would invite her to come looking like Shakira.

This sounds made up.

Yes, “don’t dress hoochie” or “dress professionally” doesn’t imply anything about looking “Latina”.

Isn't it sad that this is our first thought in today's world when it comes to this type of shite? It's sad that a lot of the times it IS made up...and it's also sad for the people who this actually happened to.

My wife's Latina and looks similar to her. This chick has good genetics and obviously works to maintain it. Most Latinas look like this prior to 25 or their 1st child. Afterwards, if they don't exercise or watch their diet things take a dramatic turn.
