WTH is wrong with people.

14 years wasn't that long ago. Sensibilities haven't changed that much from then to now. How did that ever seem like a good idea?

His brownface is one - terrible and worth being called out issue - even today, however, BA editors who are POC aren't being paid for the video appearances that their white coworkers are. They're being pigeon-holed when it comes to the food topics they're permitted to write about, while white writers are given free reign to write whatever they like. The culture there has a huge problem and while Rapoport may have been a big part of the problem, there needs to be further change.

My guess is there will be, in the form of the end of the magazine.

I doubt it, they have a lot of money invested in it and the IP, and these problems are fixable. Will they want to? Different story.
