British actor Laurence Fox has sparked outrage after posting a photo of himself in afro hair and blackface. Fox captioned the photo, “Can’t wait. As someone who has recently racially transitioned, I’m glad my culture is going to be celebrated!”
The photo has been widely condemned on social media, with many people calling it racist and offensive. Some have also pointed out that Fox’s comments about “racially transitioning” are insensitive and inaccurate.
This is not the first time that Fox has made controversial statements about race. In 2020, he was criticized for saying that the British media was not racist towards Meghan Markle.
He has also accused black and working-class actors of only complaining about bias in the industry after they have become successful.
Fox’s latest stunt has only served to reinforce his reputation as a divisive figure. It remains to be seen whether he will face any consequences for his actions, but it is clear that his comments have caused a great deal of hurt and anger.
