‘L’Oréal remains committed to celebrating diversity and breaking down barriers in beauty.’

This morning Munroe wrote a piece defending what she had said on Facebook, writing ‘Racism may be a jagged pill to swallow, but I suggest you force it down quickly if you want to be part of the solution.’

She concluded: ‘I stand for tolerance and acceptance – but neither can be achieved if we are unwilling to discuss WHY intolerance and hate exist in the first place.’

The original Facebook rant in full ‘Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people. ‘Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s***. ‘Come see me when you realise that racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited and consciously or unconsciously passed down through privilege. ‘Once white people begin to admit that their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth… then we can talk. ‘Until then stay acting shocked about how the world continues to stay f***** at the hands of your ancestors and your heads that remain buried in the sand with hands over your ears.’
