Naomi Campbell Calls The Modeling World Racist

Naomi Campbell has called out the modeling world before for constantly shutting out models of color. But even as the president of the most powerful country in the world being a person of color and his wife being a brown skinned black woman, she says that in the modeling world, things have actually gotten worse:

“You know, the American president may be black, but as black woman, I am still an exception in this business. I always have to work harder to be treated equally,” the runway model explained to a German addition of Glamour magazine.....In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere.” source
