    my guess its because most people are superficial and think that being “white” is what defines pretty. but if you look at some vogue and other fashion magazines in asia most of their cover girls are asian.

    thats insane! theres variety of asian models around, theres in fact alot of different other races as well. it may just seem like it to you, but i dont think thats true at all =)

    That is a question that other cultures have been asking for a long time. Until editors keep asking for diversity it will always be that way

    that is totally false…

    Han Hye Jin been cover of vouge 3x alrdy.
    she has walked thousands of high fashion from couture to rtw.

    The fact is not many asians are tall, asian by nature are kinda shorter than most white people (russian/australian). Therefore its harder to get into the fashion business.

    Even if they were tall….
    Lot of them don’t have the model look, and often their legs are short. And essential aspect of fashion runway model is long legs.

    is not racism, its just the way the world flows. this is an asian writing this.
