Or weed. (c) Kelli Osbourne

Maybe weed (c) Giuliana Rancic

lol @ these bitches. **cues I Am Not My Hair**

http://www.complex.com/style/2015/02/zendaya-responds

During E!'s Fashion Police Oscars special Monday night, co-host Giuliana Rancic made a wildly offensive comment about actress Zendaya Coleman’s hair. Apparently, Giuliana thought the 18-year-old’s decision to rock locs on the red carpet made her look like she smelled of patchouli oil and weed. No, really. She actually said that.

Of course, it wasn't long before people took to social media to call out the ignorant commentary. Even Zendaya, who says she typical ignores negative remarks, thought Giuliana’s words so distasteful that she felt obligated to post a letter defending her locs and pointing out the blatant racism within the co-host’s “joke.”

Take a look below to see the clip of Giuliana making those remarks, as well as the justifiably pissed-off Twitter responses. You can also read the letter Zendaya posted Monday evening, in which she drops some much-needed education on Giuliana.

I kinda always thought it was part of the event. Poor girl lost by writing an "I'm hurt" letter. That's exactly what the commentators wanted. Why black folks even go to this stuff is beyond me.

the clearly fake locs looked ridiculous on Zendaya - like they'd swallow her.

and she did look like a dirty hippie (who'd been cleaned up for the red carpet).

i dunno if Zendaya's family also wears weave. i doubt Ava, Terry or Ledisi wear weave, but maybe.

Zendaya needs a seat.

fuck you.

>and she did look like a dirty hippie (who'd been cleaned up
>for the red carpet).


Edit: At least nothing black hippie/boho. I just saw your post below and agree that she looks like a white hippie rasta that just adopted that style a week or so ago.

and not done particularly well (all of those visible plats - WTF?).

the FP comment referenced others who are known to wear fake locs - hippies.

fuck you.

Kinda bugs me that nowadays a lot of hairstyles that people used to catch hell for are now normal, trendy and mainstream. I love that folks have adopted a lot of styles, but it does irk me a little that some folks still want the bravery points that comes along with bucking trends, without actually having to be brave and buck any trends (like the black women wearing locs in the 90s).

Kinda like suburban hipsters moving to gentrified parts of Brooklyn, then talking about how rough the streets are where they live. Maybe in 1995.

that jiggaboo shit nah

this is blatant as shit...and screams of lack of any racial sensitivity

moreso the weed part though

but even so...it's still pretty low on the scale...

they coulda used just about any hippie stereotype to at least make this joke land on the right fucking demo

Let me sport my Air Hyperbole 2010s in peace. (c) ansomble

more than it reminded me of actual locs.

which is why i LOL'd when they said she looked like she smelled of patchouli. b/c to me her braids screamed 'college kid' more than 'dreadloc'd rasta'.

fuck you.

it was the weed that signaled the "Tread Lightly" Nigga alert

if they had added some birkenstocks to it...it would have been less insensitive to us bigoted niggas who think weed is a black drug

Let me sport my Air Hyperbole 2010s in peace. (c) ansomble

like weed.

the 'weed' thing wasn't at all a dig at the Blacks, IMO. it followed from the 'patchouli' comment.

fuck you.

but it's toeing a weird line

some might argue hippies are just white people who stole 70s black culture

and black bigots think any reference to dreads and weed is tread lightly territory

i think this is one of those "the jokes on all of us" type of outrages

Let me sport my Air Hyperbole 2010s in peace. (c) ansomble

Building repetoires (c) spm since 1983

the girl wore obviously weaved/fake locs and Kelly and Giuliana made a snarky comment about them, saying her look reminded them of other ppl who wear fake locs - hippies.

i don't see the race-based outrage.

fuck you.

>i don't see the race-based outrage.


they were trying to make fun of hippies, not black people.

fuck you.

but u should always be careful of black hairstyles lol

White people talking about any culture always comes off weird to people and rightfully so because of history. But it wasn't racist it's just a weird comment coming from a white girl. She didn't say anything you wouldn't have said yourself or read on here lol

LOL

Zendaya's weave looks more like Berkeley than Kingstown. and that was the point of the joke about patchouli and weed.

fuck you.

Don't mixed kids turn more radical when they go away to college?

Zendaya is that age.

She can write well-worded response pieces to unpack her feelings all day as far as I'm concerned

LOL

Yeah, hippies culturally approprited Bob Marley (and his dreads) but that lifestyle pre-dates us, LOL.

Biggest sin is that it wasn't funny, not that it was offensive. Joan (RIP) Rivers could have worked it into a better, and probably more vicious, joke.

that stereotype (along w/wearing obviously fake dreds) belongs to hippies.

b/c there was no race problem w/the comment.

if she'd said Zendaya looked like she smelled of collard greens or callaloo or watermelon...then there'd be a need for checking.

they said Zendaya looked like a stereotypical white hippie.

'patchouli and weed' = white hippie, not Black anything.

the 'patchouli' is the key there. that's the tip-off that the joke is about hippies. and Giuliana's response to Zendaya backs this up - she said the comment addressed Zendaya's 'bohemian chic' look and wasn't about race.

fuck you.

yes its clear that that idiot got her signals mixed
and
associates all things dreaded with black folk
which to that dumb ass includes patchouli and weed
she doesn't get that benefit of the doubt

WE may know that

that dumbass is clueless in general

they def wouldn't associated weed and tha pach with a white girl rocking dreds or locs, that's something "we" do when we see white hippies.

their comment def was coded with race, Zendaya had a nice response

that should be the end

they do it too.

it had no race codes in it for the Blacks though. b/c Blacks aren't associated w/patchouli. if she'd said watermelon or green apple or moscato or greens or a government yard in Trenchtown then i'd agree. but b/c i have not ever known patchouli to be stereotypically associated w/white hippies i don't agree that there was any black race coding going on w/the comment.

i think the comment was that Zendaya's locs are obviously fake and poorly done which made her look like other ppl who are known to wear obviously fake locs - hippies. white ones.

fuck you.

i am thinking now, some of these things you write, are truthy

question are Blacks (in your opinion), in terms of the white gaze, ever seen as hippies

and they're typically associated w/the Jimi Hendrix look.
