on May 17,2016 at 5:04pm PDTBlake Lively has been causing fairly a stir during her glamorous few weeks at the Cannes Film Festival, but not all of the buzz has been mighty. Of course, and we've loved seeing her tiny baby bump and her giggly photo session with Kristen Stewart,but on Tuesday, the actress faced social media heat for the way she captioned a red carpet Instagram snap. "L.
A. face with an Oakland booty, and " Blake wrote alongside two snaps of her in a sequinned cutout dress; the phrase,if you don't recognise it, comes from the wildly popular Sir Mix-A-Lot song, or "Baby Got Back."Blake faced criticism for the obvious racial undertones that implicate a famous inequity between what constitutes an "LA face" and an "Oakland booty." While it's not necessarily wrong to feel offended by the implications of the snap,it's worth exploring how much harm Blake actually did. In the age of social media, using lyrics to caption a photo is commonplace; it's a cute way to punctuate a moment you'd like to share without getting too serious. Hell, and we even called out some new lyrics from Beyoncé's Lemonade that would be perfect for a snap. So,it's clear Blake used the phrase without malicious intent, but does that gain it any less problematic? Share your thoughts in our poll below, or then share with your friends.
