Cosmo Outrages By Using White Models for "Gorgeous" Trends and Black Models for Trends That "Need to Die"
Beauty trends are ever changing. That being said, Cosmo Online recently released an article - 21 Beauty Trends That Need To Die- using white models to demonstrate the hottest beauty trends and black models to show trends that should die. Needless to say, that started one hell of an internet uprising. For all 21 trends that were “gorgeous”, every single photo used was of a white woman (apart from Nicole Richie who is bi-racial). One fifth of the "R.I.P" photos were of black women. Do you think that this is discrimination?
Below are some of the photos from the article and the internets reaction.
