LETS SEE: BLACK MODEL DEBATE….

Italian Vogue are doing a specific issue with purely Black models because they think they are underrepresented. We know there is a problem cause we don’t SEE any black models but whats really interesting at the debate over at Fashionista is that people are comparing race with weight. Some people are raising the issue that, discriminating against someone who is fat is just as bad as someone who is black-that’s life and that’s fashion, ‘GET OVER IT’.

But what about if you are BLACK and FAT?

You know?

It’s pretty wild and crazy. People get a kick out of discriminating. Woman get a kick out of being thinner, prettier and ‘whiter’ then you.

Full STOP.

But why can’t people call a spade a fucking spade when it comes to discussing race? People#s bullshit is insufferable but I just thought it was hilarious to read some one the responses on Fashionista!??

How does saying “no ethnic girls” differ from their other forms of discrimination- i.e weight, height, body type… the fashion industry is obviously not working toward an inclusive ideal of beauty, and it is hypocritical when they act as if they are. What is even worse is that those labeled as “ethnic” are usually biracial and don’t actually represent an ethnic perspective on beauty at all, other than darker skin tone.

Huh? As much as I hate the warped ideal standard of beauty that we have in society-it ISN’T the same as being Black! We are a race! We’re not a size?!!!

i don’t think calling for “no ethnic girls” is discriminatory so much as specifying the needs of the job. i wouldn’t find a “no caucasian girls” sign offensive, it just means that a certain type of girl would work better for that particular job… just like specifying hair color. this is kind of off point but just sayin’.

Err, you’re just saying cause you’re WHITE. You’ve NEVER being discriminated AGAINST! Stupid bitch-go to the middle of an all black country and see the no white signs and then talk about ‘how you wouldn’t fucking mind’….

I’m not sure it’s worth my sanity to pick out more cause it’s just along the same line without anyone really making any logical or factual sense. If you’re going to talk about race-talk about Slavery, Colonisation and the rest….
