The BBC has permanently removed an article from its website after editors concluded it did not meet the corporation's editorial standards, according to The Guardian.
The article, first published on the BBC's website on September 27, examined a widely spreading trend for bare, undecorated nails, noting it had spread across social media and fashion catwalks. It included a claim linking the trend to "white supremacist standards of beauty," a characterization that drew criticism from US and UK media outlets.
The BBC said the article's removal followed an internal editorial review, though further specifics of what prompted the review or how the article came to be published were not detailed in the available reporting.
