It is amazing that a hair product marketing strategy featured a Muslim model who did not even show her hair. Without citing any statistical analysis, we would also wager that the vast majority of women who use L\u2019Oreal products are White.\u00a0 As far as L\u2019Oreal and its allied advertising firms were concerned, these glaring idiocies were perfectly fine. \u00a0What is rather telling, however, is that Khan\u2019s criticism of both Gal Gadot and Israel was absolutely unacceptable. Everything else was fine. Indirect subversive critiques of White Western culture are encouraged, but criticizing Israel, now that\u2019s beyond the pale. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mundilfury\" target=\"_blank\">Mundilfury<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A woman who appeared in a recent L\u2019Oreal UK ad campaign for hair care products has stepped down after she received criticism for a series of anti-Israel tweets in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on Twitter on Monday, Amena Khan, a social-media activist, wrote that she regrets the tweets she posted and will be leaving the campaign because of the backlash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI deeply regret the content of the tweets I made in 2014, and sincerely apologize for the upset and hurt that they have caused,\u201d she&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redice.tv\/news\/loreal-model-steps-down-after-anti-israel-tweets-uncovered\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note: It did not take long for L\u2019Oreal\u2019s ridiculous hair care marketing campaign to implode.
