Of course the cultural appropriation police -- the 'screaming banshees' -- (no offense intended to Celtic Faerie women warning of impending death) were out, tweeting a rerun of the backlash against Kim's sister Kendall Jenner's 2017 Vogue India cover and editorial.
Writing yesterday about Kendall sitting out the fall 2018 runway shows, the Vogue India cover controversy came to mind, where the editor-in-chief put these social media screaming banshees in their place, writing:
"In the last 10 years, Vogue India has had only 12 international covers, including Kendall Jenner, in 2017. Therefore, statistically, 90 percent of our covers are Indian! And we are proud of that." What's more, the brand adds, "India has given the world so many beautiful faces to admire. After all, we are Vogue, an international brand, and we want to give the love back by featuring some of the best international celebrities on our covers. Occasionally! :)"
According to the same logic, I assume that Vogue US, Vogue UK, Vogue Paris should never use an Indian female actor, model, or philanthropist. How about all the gorgeous Sundanese models coming from Australia and America? They should only appear in Vogue Arabia? Like the white nationalists, the screaming banshees don't want any cultural mixing. Everyone stays in his or her lane. The fact that 90% of Vogue India covers feature Indian women of many talents is not enough. White women on the cover destroy Indian identity and none will be tolerated. Does that include interracial dating, too? Just wondering. ~ Anne
