Cara Delevingne to her followers: ‘There is only one race! The human race’

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

Cara Delevingne the actress is upon us, like it or not. She gave some interviews in Cannes that are still filtering out. Cara plays the Enchantress in Suicide Squad. We glimpsed the character in costume, but the PR focus is on Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn (for good reason). Cara told Entertainment Weekly that she doesn’t even like superhero (or supervillain, in this case) movies because “there are so f***ing many.” Yet she believes this film will be “f***ing insane,” and “I’ve never been so excited to see a film.” Hmm. I feel like Cara will dabble in films for awhile, but she’ll go back to her day job like most models do.

Cara raised some eyebrows with a tweet about her feelings on race. I believe this tweet was spontaneous and not prompted by a current event. But who knows with Cara:

There is only one race! The human race

Ehhh. Cara’s speaking in an idealistic way, which is easy to do from a position of privilege. She’s being overly simplistic and trying to say race doesn’t matter, right? Which is the same thing as denying that racism exists. I don’t think Cara meant any harm with this tweet. Cara simply sounds like she has no idea what she’s talking about, but she’s trying to sound lofty and above everything. The supermodel who sleeps through interviews and parties her life away tried to school us all.
