Thank you for that!

Yeah...there is no reason for me to continue to respond to your comments that have nothing to do with what I'm saying. Have a good weekend.

Again, you don't understand the concept that it's not simply a frivolous concern about some random stranger finding you beautiful. Even saying something like that tells me your level of ignorance about the importance of ALL KINDS of representation, and its psychological effects. There is plenty of reading, including…

Luckily, minorities are allowed to differ in opinions about what is important to them. So one can focus on things like representation in the boardroom, as well as the psychological effect of being told from childhood that only whiteness is pretty, normal, and acceptable. White supremacy is white supremacy - saying…

Yes, I can see how it can seem frivolous (and important to keep the status quo) that white people are over-represented, shown as "normal", and shown as the standard of beauty everywhere, all the time, all while being the minority in the world. White supremacy is far-reaching like that.

I have yet to see her say anything intelligent or insightful about the entertainment industry. She comes off to me as extraordinarily immature and unable to see things from someone else's point of view.

I get sick of this shit too. "Oh, the number seem, fair— it's not like there's that many black/Asian/Latino people in this country!"

booya!

NY Fashion Week promotes international fashion. Not every designer is even from the US. Perhaps you should consider that context before pointing out irrelevant information.

Don't be that guy. Every single time this issue comes up there is always that guy who can't seem to understand that people of color exist as the majority outside of America.

well said and i agree!

Liu Wen is a supermodel who works in both commercial & high fashion. This is a shot from the VS Angels show in 2012.

But, they don't choose models based on U.S. Demographics. This is a global industry, and these models that walk in NYFW come from all over the world. Based on U.S. Demographics there needs to be a lot more Latina models on the runway.

"A pretty small fraction of women meet the standard 5'10"+, and those who do are usually of Northern European descent."

That's because nothing has changed.

Anecdotally, I work for a large fashion magazine and I can tell you that we get dozens of messages a day from girls of every color, shape, and size asking us to look at their photos and hire them. I would say the majority of them are in Africa, the Caribbean, and South America; a minority of them are white. I used to…

I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm stunned there isn't an Asian supermodel, considering the world population and especially considering the rise of millionaires in China who are flocking to buying high-end luxury good. Same goes for a model from the Middle East and one of the litany of ethnicities there, considering…

But is fashion week American or worldwide? Because if Fashion Week, etc are supposed to be a global thing, then perhaps it should reflect the global makeup:

I prefer the celebration of asses, as it is possible for a woman to obtain a nice ass with the right kind of workout. Large women, thin women, women of all kinds of builds CAN achieve a nice ass.

For being an ass-centric cover, I'd expect at least some bubble butt.
