Naya Rivera Said....

Naya Rivera guest hosted on The View yesterday, and like on any old Tuesday, Twitter blew up.

There is no problem with her referencing dermatologists' findings that showering every day leads to dry skin and possible susceptibility to certain bacteria. I mean, BuzzFeed did a whole article on it recently and it was very informative; all else besides, it does make sense. People have been politely discouraged from washing their hair everyday; why not their bodies? In some ways, societal norms are habit rather than necessity. No argument there.

What is a problem, though, is that she refers to people in question as "white people" and "ethnics".

I do think she was trying to be funny and all-about-it, but I suggest leaving it to someone established who can take the heat - or the hit - towards their career. But really, why draw a line between ethnic groups? Why go onto Twitter and say, 

When you get out of the shower today, get a sense of humor. Love ya!

Naya? You're in danger, girl.

Get a reality check, and a shower because such thinking has all the makings of a mess.
There are too many prejudices in the world and sadly this contributes to them. Not because Naya is of that mindset, but because it can be easily misconstrued on account of lip-flapping.

Save it for conversation among friends, who know you mean well, so you don't have to explain yourself to a bunch of strangers who don't. Make an ignorant statement and you will get a response from anyone with ears, a brain, and a sense of history. But honestly, I want to thank you - thank you for igniting conversation even further about the space put between "white people" and "ethnics", and that this is still how a good number of people view the world at large. Look at movies, television shows, hair styles, cosmetic tips, mannerisms, ways of being. There is a particular mold that no one speaks about, and even though you were just trying to relate, trying to make us laugh, you further highlighted the divide. So thank you for providing an top-notch example of how to set multiple groups of people back even further, even if it was in jest.

What do you think? Were Naya's comments off the mark or was this random slip of the tongue? Are people right to be so upset or should they just let it go? Discuss in the comments, and don't forget to sound off on Facebook and Twitter.
