That wasn't the only clip that proved racially problematic for fans, as several took to their Twitter to bring up the episode where white models were painted to represent"Africans," which prompted one of the models to say,"I'm a Black girl with a nose job,” to which the makeup artist replied,"You are! You're a Jackson."
"There was absolutely a specific type of regulation, silencing and policing that was directed towards Black women on the show, and dark skinned Black women in particular," wrote a Twitter user. Another old clip focused on the racially insensitive moment when a judge on the panel told contestant Yaya,"You have this intensity to prove your African-ness that I think sometimes is overbearing."
In a different season, the judges said contestant Toccaro had to lose 150 pounds to be considered a model, to which Tyra stepped in to defend the young woman. And a resurfaced clip of a photoshoot where the producers encouraged a contestant to pose in a grave after receiving news of her best friend's death really drew the line for some followers.

34-Year-Old Man May As Well Keep Pursuing Dream At This PointOMAHA, NE—Admitting he wasn’t really qualified to do much of anything else after all this time, local 34-year-old Ryan Wells told reporters Wednesday that, at this point, he might as well just keep following his dream of someday becoming a successful musician. “It’s definitely too late for me to go back to school, and I’m not going to get an office job or anything like that with the résumé I’ve got, so I figure, why not just stick with what I’ve been doing,” said Wells, adding that he’s okay with his current schedule of rehearsals and occasional late-night gigs and has grown accustomed to living in small apartments anyway, so he didn’t see much of a problem with continuing to strive after his lifelong goal for the indefinite future. “It’s not like anyone really expects anything different from me anymore, either; they all pretty much ask about how the band stuff is going right off the bat when I talk to them. So, I guess I’ll just keep doing this from here on out.” Wells went on to say that he foresees no real issues with his plan to keep following his dreams, provided that his roommate of eight years doesn’t suddenly decide to move out.
