Leftist racism
Why does the race of a fashion model matter? All that should matter is whether she effectively sells clothes
Fans of model Kendall Jenner were delighted when it was announced last week that she was lending her good looks to Mango's new Tribal Spirit collection - one of her first campaigns of 2016.
But critics have taken to social media to question why a white model was chosen to represent a collection said to be inspired by the African Savannah, which will include a tribal print dress.
The reality TV star-turned-supermodel is modelling the first of four trends to be showcased in advertising campaigns for Spring/Summer 2016, and the Spanish retailer said each would be represented by 'the face that best defines it'.
But on social media many couldn't have disagreed more, and Ldndxv was one of many who took to Twitter to share her comments with the retailer. 'Seriously Mango,' she wrote. 'You should know better. Leave cultural appropriation in 2015.'
Pablo Godoy Estel agreed, saying the company's 'cultural appropriation' was a shame. Sharpay Evans added sarcastically: 'Mango's new campaign Tribal Spirit is inspired by the African Savannah and Kendall Jenner, a white girl, is the model?'

'cultural appropriation' is the new whine of Liberals; they obviously have too much spare time.
ReplyDeleteWait, so you CAN stereotype as long as you claim to be avoiding "Cultural Appropriation?"
ReplyDeleteWhining critics their never satisfied
ReplyDeleteThe Common Liberal(Whinus,Snivelus)noted for their close set eyes,they wear pink,drink herb type tea are total vegans ride bicycles and can be reconized by their constant whining sound they make
ReplyDeleteHave their 'cultural appropriation' hanging right here I do!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean that white women can't buy and wear the dresses? If so then they needn't have bothered to design it because rest assured they won't make money off black women.
ReplyDeleteThe real stupidity here is paying attention to those on social media. Those who participate are largely dissatisfied vacuous bigots. To give any credence to their rants is preposterous.
