Is Skin Colour Still an Issue?

Franca Sozzani, editor of Italian Vogue asked this question on her blog earlier this month.

She argues that with Obama in the White House, famous and respected black athletes, actors, musicians, historians etc – the lack of black models is simply down to laziness in research and the casting room and is not due to prejudice.



She says of Italian Vogue: ‘We continue to give it (black models) more space in the magazine and website. The truth is that real beauty doesn't care for skin colour or nationality.’

Agree?
