French Vogue Accused Of Racism

French Vogue is being accused of racism after a white model's skin was made black for a photograph.

This is NOT racist. Nor is it meant to be offensive. It is simply a photograph.

Now before anybody decides to chime in on this subject and say it's racist, I'd like to remind you of a few little tidbits.

As someone pointed out in the comments section for this story, NOBODY had a problem with the movie WHITE CHICKS in which two black actors portrayed white women. In fact, people thought it was funny. Where was the outcry about racism? Nowhere. And why? Because it wasn't racist. Neither was this photograph.

On the fourth season of America's Next Top Model, the contestants participated in a photoshoot in which they were made up to take on a different ethnicity. A white model was made up to portray an African American woman. A black model was made up to portray a Korean woman. Other models were made up to portray other ethnicities as well. Where was the outcry about racism? Nowhere. And why? Because it wasn't racist. Neither was this photograph.

Those are just two examples!! I could name many more.

This photograph is not even close to what took place on the Australian TV show mentioned in this story. That was racist, offensive, and just totally ridiculous. This is not!!
