The Real Incoherence
Whoopi Goldberg put it simply on “The View”: “Lupita is also considered one of the world’s most beautiful women. So I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.”

(3) Nyong’o is an Oscar-winning actress who People magazine has named one of the most beautiful women alive, then the casting practically argues for itself.
If someone’s argument is that Helen must be white to be beautiful, that’s not a historical claim.
