| Teacher: | In fashion shoots and cat walks black people are being put in leopard print and animal print predominantly. They are more likely to be put in those kind of clothes then a white person.
|
| Sweet, magazine reader gal: | maybe they are just making those choices because those prints looks better on certain races.
|
| What I am thinking: | YOU ARE NAIVE! they are RACISTS sweetie!
|
| What I say: | To put African Americans in animals prints (as a trend) is to suggest that they are more animalistic, it is a Darwinian idea of being less developed.
|
| (Something to keep in mind which I didn't say was that, even the idea of "race" is a man made term which is false - there are no races- races went along with a structure of white superiority. Race exists as a concept but is constructed). |
