Olivia Jade Giannulli urged Instagram followers to call out acts of racism rather than just inwardly condemning them as protests continued over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who died after a white Minneapolis cop knelt on his neck. The two paid $500,000 to have Olivia Jade and her sister Isabella fraudulently admitted to USC as crew recruits. A particular passage about white privilege in Olivia Jade’s speech seemed to irk some readers. “As a person who was born into privilege based on my skin color & financial situation, i was not alway aware that these issues were still so present,” she wrote. But, according to critics, holding forth on white guilt and discrimination in an Instagram story perhaps wasn’t the way to go.
