Glamour Editor To Address Ex-Staffer's Racial Remark In Upcoming Issue

Folio :

An off-color comment about African American hairstyles made by a Glamour associate editor a few months ago is proving to be a headache that won't go away for editor-in-chief Cindi Leive. So much so that Leive is planning to address the touchy subject during a roundtable discussion to be featured in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

"These are deep, really personal issues for a lot of women, so it doesn't surprise me at all that this discussion has had legs," Leive wrote in an e-mail to Folio:. "Ironically, they're the sorts of issues we cover all the time in Glamour, so that's what we've decided to do here: hold a forum to get well-known women--and our own readers--talking about issues of beauty, identity and race, and then run the results in the magazine."

why would someone say something as stupid as that in a magazine that is sold nationally. That was dumb on her part and she deserves to get fired.
