It's race day on racegum.com. Brigitte Bardot, you guys:
PARIS - Brigitte Bardot was convicted Tuesday of provoking discrimination and racial hatred for writing that Muslims are destroying France.
A Paris court also handed down a $23,325 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner. The court also ordered Bardot to pay $1,555 in damages to MRAP.
A leading French anti-racism group known as MRAP filed a lawsuit last year over a letter she sent to then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy. The remarks were published in her foundation's quarterly journal.
In the December 2006 letter to Sarkozy, now the president, Bardot said France is "tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts."

Oh no she didn't. I love that the letter was published in her foundation's quarterly journal. My favorite philanthropic endeavors are vocally jingoistic and hateful. But we really should have seen this coming. Brigitte Bardot has always kind of had that look to her. After the jump, the Top 10 Racist Faces of Brigitte Bardot.

Man, she has unacceptable political views, but she was very very hot. If I could, I'd build a time machine to go back to the age when everyone was an unapologetic racist with a philanthropic newsletter, where it would be OK to love her.
