Brigitte Bardot fined by French court for calling La Reunion islanders ‘degenerate savages’

This isn’t the first time that the actress-turned-animal rights activist has faced legal woes over allegations of racism.
In 2019, Bardot wrote an open letter where she referred to the Indian Ocean islanders as"natives who still have savage genes" and "degenerate savages" in response to how they treat animals.
She specifically targeted the Hindu Tamil population, describing them as "a degenerate population still soaked in barbarous ancestral traditions" for "sacrificing goats" and using the "cannibalism of past centuries," The Telegraph reported.
