This alliterate foreign born singer/actress/model from back in the day has never made it much of a secret that she does not like men of color, so her recent actions shouldn’t come as a shock.
She once refused to present an Oscar in the 1960’s because she was going to have to present with this permanent A list mostly movie actor who is a man of color.

Brigitte Bardot fined for ‘inciting racial hatred’ a sixth time
French actress Brigitte Bardot was fined to the tune of €20,000 — approximately $23,100 — for calling native Indian Ocean islanders “savages.”
In 2019, Bardot, who is known for her acting in French projects, wrote a letter referring to the Reunionese — who inhabit the island La Reunion — as “natives who still have savage genes” in response to how they treat animals.
According to the Telegraph, she specifically spoke about the Hindu Tamil population, criticizing them for “sacrificing goats” and using the “cannibalism of past centuries.”
On Thursday, she was fined for racial abuse, according to a report from the publication Le Figaro.
This isn’t the first time Bardot has faced legal troubles for allegations of racism. In 2008, the 87-year-old actress was on trial for using racial slurs against Muslim communities after multiple other instances of “inciting racial hatred” — with the latest being her sixth offense.
In response to her statements, former Minister of Overseas Territories Annick Girardin wrote a letter to the actress stating, “Racism is not an opinion, it is a crime,” according to Le Figaro. – Source
