It pays to have progressive privilege — just ask Affinity Magazine.
The “social justice” publication tweeted an image of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen standing next to Nicki Minaj at the Met Gala Monday night and ridiculed “white people.”
“Nicki Minaj is 34 and the Olsen twins are 30,” the magazine tweeted with a photo of the trio. “White people age like bananas.”
After being accused to racism, the magazine deleted the tweet, but defended it, writing, “The point was to show the difference in how people of color vs white people age. Not to make fun of the Olsen twins.”
