ny fashion week is too white

I've been noticing a trend lately in the fashion world and entertainment (tv shows, reality shows --esp model reality shows, magazines, etc) that seems to be that everything is swinging back to really skinny heroin-esque looking white people. not that I'm the biggest fan of tan athletic amazon women, but I don't really understand why, for example, vogue's may cover story last year that featured "the next generation of supermodels" were 9 white women (6 of them blonde) and one bv. and I know that white is the majority in the US blah blah but seriously, you can't fucking put an asian model in the top 10, or 2 bvs? oh I'm sorry, I didn't know only one black person is allowed per photo shoot.


(oh, and I found this pic highlighted like this, but it served to fulfill my purpose, so hayy)



I don't really know what started this trend, but I am not into it. jezebel.com seems to have noticed the same thing and they actually made a breakdown of the white to non-white ratio. it's really pathetic:

also, I have a sneaking suspicion that prada refuses to use non-whiteys, and that makes me not like them, but I love prada and don't want to not like it. fuck.
