Kate Winslet is being urged to quit her new job as the face of Lancome Tresor fragrance. The requests come after L'Oreal which owns the label was found guilty of racism.The ruling against the French company came after the company was accused of using only white women to promote its Garnier shampoos.
Now both Winslet and actor Clive Owen are facing pressure to end their associations with L'Oreal in order to make their stance on racism clear.
A Commission for Racial Equality spokesperson said, "We would ask those high-profile ambassadors to think carefully about whether or not they want to be associated with this organisation.
"What a wonderful opportunity this could be to stand up to racism, to show that it simply has no place in today's society."
