I would love to start a magazine, clothing line, make up line, something that requires models, and hire only Black, Latina, and Asian women. I'd add that they can be all shapes and sizes, as well. And I bet that just like that Vogue Italia "Black Issue", my look book would sell out in days, because women like to see themselves in society's representations of beauty. If I see a woman with my skin tone, with my shape, wearing a dress that she looks amazing in, I'm going to assume that I'll look amazing in it too, and I'll hunt it down. There'd be a lot of complaining about "reverse racism", but I think it's clear that white models have a hundred times more opportunity than models of color in that industry.
