Quoting the lyrics from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s famous song “Baby Got Back”;, Lively captioned the photo, “L.A. face with an Oakland booty.”; As expected, the “Cafe Society”; star’s comment enraged fans and prompted commentators to call Lively racially insensitive.
“Unbelievably problematic,”; one fan wrote, “using women of colour’s bodies as a joke. I guess you just want people to know you’re racist and you don’t give a s**t.”;
