“When they say ‘We want to go white,’ they have a very smooth way of saying it, and the recent one is the word traditional. [I’ve heard] ‘Oh, you know, you’re just not what we were looking for, your skin is a little darker.’ Compared to what?! My skin is just my skin. It’s dark if you compare it to someone who’s lighter.”
Some people are beefing about it being the first time in SEVEN years that Nylon has featured a black person on the front cover – but so what? Better late than never right!? Does it not show that the world is moving in the right direction (with the exception of Vanity Fair ….)
