I’d like to point out one thing in this statement -

“Some of my colleagues in the test kitchen have been publicly supportive but privately complicit, even helping to interview BIPOC video candidates they know will be underpaid.”

This lends much credence to the allegations raised by @tammieetc on Twitter:

“I think they’re very risk-averse,” El-Waylly told Business Insider. “I think that more people of color are going to be more visible in food media. That’s more of a progressive thought, but Condé is a bit conservative and risk-averse. Maybe they’ll do it in five years after someone else makes it cool.”

I do want to highlight one quote: “More importantly, views dropped from an all-time high in April of 91.7 million to 12.9 million in July, an 86% decrease.”

Condé Nast employees say Black celebrities like Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion were rejected from videos based on a ‘racist’ vetting process

Business Insider spoke with 13 current and former employees of Condé Nast Entertainment, the famed publisher’s video-production entity, about the process through which videos are pitched and produced.

Sources said this vetting process, which measures the various parts of a pitch against historical data, consistently rejected video pitches that would feature people of color and topics about nonwhite communities.
