think so.

but if it's the cover of sports illustrated, it's fine. sports fan can tell quickly that lebron james is not an ape. b-ball players are skilled player. if it's an unskilled position athlete, say, a huge black running back with gisele on SI that's another story.

trouble is readers of vogue can't tell the difference. vogue knows many of its readers can't all tell lebron james from reggie bush. as a result, all vogue represented was an apey black athlete. huge "vogue pas"

Exactly.

Because everyone knows that sports fans in general and SI readers in particular are possessed of the wisdom and ability to connect the dots between James' size and the position he plays. No doubt they're performing a similar analysis of Bundchen's figure and the position she plays. Oh wait...

Well, but for sure fashion book readers in general and Vogue readers in particular are too dense to be simply admiring the aesthetic physiques of two beautiful, talented people at the top of their game. Because obviously they're RACISTS, you see?

I, for one, am mighty damn tired of some damn fool looking for racism behind every damn tree.
