There's a viral trend on TikTok right now wherein, if a white person makes a racist comment, oftentimes a better-looking person of another ethnicity will edit it to add their own face right after. Even amongst social justice advocates, beauty is perceived as a valid rebuttal. ht 126.3K views · 2.4K likes · 70 reposts · 30 replies 24 Aug 2026 · Open on X →
