People never like to be called out.<br />Now that I have looked at SI's issues, I am wondering why when they use a non-white woman its always in a hut, with a spear, etc. Yet I am not seeing them do this white their white models. Its called latent racism. Done very slight that the average person doesnt even notice the message!keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636136541571785990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129323500459431684.post-33365016272160264112008-08-18T23:58:00.000-05:002008-08-18T23:58:00.000-05:00Yes, the swimsuit magazine can serve as a baromete...Yes, the swimsuit magazine can serve as a barometer for social science, but examine this "scientific" news which is racially biased:<BR/>http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20070622-000002.html<BR/><BR/>The description about the white woman being the ideal is racially biased.<BR/><BR/>Imperialism and colonialism, and the legacy thereof, have influenced the perception of beauty such that the white standard prevails worldwide. <BR/><BR/>However, history shows that indigenous cultures have had different notions of beauty. African societies have traditionally feared and shunned African albinos with blond hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. Additionally, from an evolutionary standpoint, pigmentation (melanin) is preferable in a mate and in the progeny for protection against harsh ultraviolet rays. Long hair isn't necessarily the ideal because the woolly hair of some ethnicities serve as a protection from the elements; woolly hair can also provide higher insulation by trapping air like goose down (speculating about the latter because wool is a great insulator). Lighter skin is superior in processing vitamin D, but vitamin D can be obtained from animal foods; so the greater need would still be protection from the sun. Regardless of geography or altitude, humans need reliable, natural sun protection - melanin in skin and eyes.<BR/><BR/>The article is not the least bit objective and only mirrors the influence of today's media. This is poor and negligent science.<BR/><BR/>As for the swimsuits, why do they never show Liya Kebede photographed in the fjords of Norway?! The portrayal of non-white as primitive is stale racism!wizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457879973563959147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129323500459431684.post-57940230841762973542008-02-27T12:35:00.000-06:002008-02-27T12:35:00.000-06:00A blogger doing research with quotations if desire...A blogger doing research with quotations if desired? You sir, do not follow my camp of "making things up". But thank you for this "research" that I'm sure was very painful to do.<BR/><BR/>So my questions for the researcher: Does this mean that the first Indian model is going to be featured with a red dot on her forehead?<BR/><BR/>And that the first Mexican model will be shown wading in the Rio Grande River?<BR/><BR/>Although these questions are both jokes, I really wouldn't be surprised if the first one came true.Kenny Havokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318795109333536085noreply@blogger.com
