And it's people like you who fuel ignorant comments because you stereotype things like dreads.

Are you kidding me? This whole thing started because of stereotyping, when a white woman saw an immaculately groomed, black chick in an expensive, evening gown and said she looked like she smelled like weed and patchouli because her hairdo. If anyone is fueling stereotypes it's Giuliana, not anyone shrewd enough to see through that BS.

If that's the case, then why didn't Giuliana make the same remark about Kylie Jenner, or was there something about Zendaya's locs paired with an evening gown that evoked weed and patchouli as opposed to Kylie's locs worn with a crop top and pajama pants? I swear, some of you will grasp at any straw. And what kind of dumb ass question are you asking? A white woman mistakenly made a racially charged remark about Z's hair on national television, and you're surprised that she had something to say about it? Her grievance isn't any less valid, nor is Z any less qualified to speak on this matter because she hasn't publicly spoken up about race before. Just sit down with that nonsense.
Now the irony of all this is that, in this second letter, Z writes that she has accepted Giuliana's apology and wanted people to stop body shaming her. So what exactly are so many of you still pressed about? She's extending the olive branch and continuing to educate the dimwitted all at once. If what she's saying is too advanced for you, just say so.
Not fair
