I should be offended by this story, but I am not...It's just so damn stupid...It shows the sheer cluelessness of some in the fashion industry (I don't want to denigrate an entire industry of people). Truly, a "what were they thinking?" moment. Additionally, I hate the use of the term "ethnic" when describing jewelry, clothing, etc. What in the hell does that mean? For me, the implicit statement is that there is some objective standard (read: white/European) and any deviation from that standard is "ethnic", when really, everything probably has some ethnic orign (ie., related to some ethnic or culture group).
About Me
- RandomThgt
- New York City, New York, United States
- 41 year old African-American Male. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades and a master of none...I rely on reasoned common sense, rationality and what my gut tells me is right/wrong (combined with the well reasoned opinions of others!). I don't consider myself an expert on anything in particular, but I have lots of opinions.
