Bitch you didn't even read 5% of the comments, its like he's trying to say anything to get out of it.
The "I don't see color" is bad enough, like stop trying to say the "Right" things to get you out of this mess.
I genuinely think in his mind he still thinks he didn't do anything wrong.

And enough with this SJW crap, you guys are throwing that word around loosely.

How do you know he hasn't read the comments? I saw him respond to at least 5 at random times. He also likes pics he's tagged in a lot, which means he checks his activity. He liked one of my pics after i defended him in the comments, so he saw that.

I think that he understands and respects what people are saying to him, and he's sorry for the offence - but at the same time, people are labelling him "disgusting" "trash" "racist" etc etc, so he's not going to get on his knees and grovel. Calling him racist is terrible. I mean, he's clearly not, so saying that to someone must be infuriating. You can't fight ignorance with MORE ignorance. He's apologised, move TF on.

It wouldn't have cost him his career though, but people are so afraid these days of oversensitive people.

Good. "I don't discriminate", is that why he hired 10 women of color out of 40/50 models?
Anyway, cool he apologized but now we see his true color
I wish I knew woc models about his comments, especially Naomi, Jourdan or Joan

Non-whites constitute 23% of the United States population. 10/40 models is 25%.
Only in 2016 is having 25% of your models be non-white considered discrimination.
When does this end?

As of 2010 whites in the us are 72.4% and the number drops to 62% if you only count non-hispanic.

I read it was 77% actually, counting all white people including white Hispanics and white Latinos, thus making non-white people 22-23% of the total population.

You read wrong. The official U.S census says 72.4 and non-hispanic at 62%.

You read wrong. The official U.S census says 77.1% for whites including white Hispanics, your non-hispanic number is correct, though. http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/00

That's an incredible fishy number. A 5% rise in 5 years. That's very interesting. Its also important to note that millions of non-white hispanics are counted as whites. I say from my own personal experience.

Oh... White alone, not Hispanic or Latino 61.6%

THIS.

This is such a blatantly half-assed. almost snotty apology.

Like when a child is forced by their parent to apologise for purposefully bullying someone else, when they enjoy being a bully.

If the 5% increase is "incredibly fishy", for all we know, the 2010 census could be the wrong figure. But like, even if we use the 2010 census, I would still say that 75% white models is a reasonable representation of a 72% white country.

I'm sure Marc Jacobs has made a conscious effort to have diversity in his casting. But if he insists on using black culture, white people shouldn't be at the forefront.

Dreadlocks are not cultural appropriation as black people were not the first ones using them.

The race of ancient Egyptian is undetermined and remains a point of controversy. Many historians claim they were white Middle Easterns, many claim they were black.

You can't just claim that dreadlocks are African culture just because you believe that Ancient Egyptians were black. There's also many pointers indicating that dreadlocks first started in Ancient India.

This is just ridiculous. Let people wear things they want to wear, nobody should have a monopoly on certain clothing.

Really, ATRL member Chemist?

[heckinglovato]

You claim it's CULTURAL appropriation. Even if Egyptians were first to wear dreadlocks, and even if they were black, it still wouldn't be cultural appropriation. African culture simply is not the same as ancient Egyptian culture.

This "WE DID IT FIRST" mentality doesn't belong in adult logic. I'm amazed.
