Le bon goût de Jeanne Deroo, journaliste beauté à "Elle" (mais si, le magazine antiraciste qui fait le buzz en mettant Taubira en couverture) dans le choix de ses déguisements - ELLE France Beauty Editor Jeanne Deroo is The Latest to Rock Blackface

There certainly seems to be a learning curve within the fashion set about wearing blackface. It seems as if every other month, there is some incident in which someone feels compelled to paint themselves brown. The latest insider to participate in this sort of minstrelsy is ELLE France beauty editor Jeanne Deroo, who this weekend posted a snap on instagram in which she sports dark makeup and an afro wig. Le sigh! The problem with Deroo’s appearance seems to be lost on the photo’s commenters, who call her look “perfect,” and wonder if she would wear it to work on Monday. ELLE France just put justice minister Christiane Taubira, a black woman, on their “Woman of The Year” cover. How ironic, then, that Ms. Deroo would set out in such an offensive representation of a woman of color. Ironic, but not entirely surprising. You would think that after the whole Disco Africa Debacle, people would finally get that this is not ok. But considering this continues to be an issue for various fashion folks, I’m starting to think that people are aware of how problematic this is– but just don’t care.
