L’Oréal fired its first transgender model Friday after he called all white people racially violent just days after his hiring.

L’Oréal fired Munroe Bergdorf for a Facebook post in which the model called all whites racially violent, purportedly in response to the Charlottesville rally, according to TIME.

“Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more,” Bergdorf wrote in the post, according to Metro. “Yes ALL white people. Because most of ya’ll don’t even realize or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of color.”

“Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s**t,” Bergdorf wrote.

Racism “isn’t learned,” but “inherited” and “passed down through privilege,” according to Bergdorf.

“Once white people begin to admit that their race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth…then we can talk,” the model wrote. “Until then stay acting shocked about how the world continues to stay f****d at the hands of your ancestors and your heads that remain buried in the sand with hands over your ears.”

“L’Oréal champions diversity,” the company said in a Friday morning tweet. “Comments by Munroe Bergdorf are at odds with our values and so we have decided to end our partnership with her.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Bergdorf and L’Oréal for comment, but received none in time for publication.
