The editor in chief of Bon Appétit magazine stepped down Monday after photos of him wearing brown face surfaced.

Adam Rapoport announced his resignation from the food magazine on Instagram after a photo of him and his wife Simone Shubuck dressed as Puerto Rican stereotypes made an appearance on Twitter.

The editor said he would “reflect on the work that I need to do as a human being and to allow Bon Appétit to get to a better place.”

“From an extremely ill-conceived Halloween costume 16 years ago to my blidn spots as an editor, I’ve not championed an inclusive vision,” he said. “And ultimately, it’s been at the expense of Bon Appétit and its staff, as well as our readers.”

What a puss-bag. 16 years ago! I don’t care if it was 16 days ago. This PC stuff must stop.

ESAD? That’s what Bon Apptite or what ever means? I’m heartbroken for the asshat. Now excuse me while I go in the next room and guffaw.

He should’ve said he had a good tan then. End of story.

Her hair isn’t the right color. It should be orange. We had a term for that back in chiraq.

I don’t get it. Wearing a Yankee’s jersey and Bronx hat, and your girlfriend calling you “Papi” suddenly makes you a Puerto Rican?

This is pathetic.

At least its leftist media types doing it to themselves…..

if a person can be taken out for a photo from 16 years ago that people get squinky about,

then why shouldn’t a criminal’s past take them out 16 years later?

after all holding a gun to someone during a home invasion 16 years ago is far worse than someone’s halloween costume 16 years ago.

....as Puerto Rican stereotypes...

I must not be a big marxist.
I would have not guessed they were going for “Puerto Rican”
Come to think of it, I cannot conjure up what “Puerto Rican” is supposed to look like.

Maybe, I do not have enough of that priviledge those Marxist keep chirping about

I’ve noticed how Jimmy Fallon has been kind of defensive about his ‘black face’ during his SNL stint some 20 years ago. He’s bringing in a lot of black folks lately for the Tonight Show. He’s being so inclusive lately.

There is also a thing called the statute of limitations. It applies to criminal offenses. But evidently it doesn’t apply to political offenses.

I’d like to say more, but I’ve got to go and burn all my kindergarten drawings.

Just like the Cultural Revolution in China ... perp walk them, publicly shame them, public confessions and then a bullet to the back of the head.

Monty Python is now behind the times; these days we always expect the Spanish Inquisition.
