Hey Vanity Fair, Diversity is Key!
























Why does Vanity Fair continues to ignore the diversity in Hollywood? I don't know why they think this cute, but it's not acceptable.
Here are some girls that could've been featured.

I mean there's Freida Pinto from "Slumdog Millionaire", Gabourey Sidibe in "Precious", Zoe Saldana from "Star Trek" and "Avatar", finally Paula Patton, also from "Precious".

There are others, but these girls could have been mentioned. They are very talented and making huge waves in the biz.

I totally agree with you, this is outrageous

Hollywood is Young, White and Straight.

Wow. I'm really surprised by this cover. Not good.

While I am in complete agreement, could it possibly be that the editors of VF believe that people of color do not read their publication and therefore, why represent? It's a head scratcher, certainly.

I think Vanity Fair believes its readers all live on the Upper East side of New York. That is definitely who they cater to...

God, that is a bleached crowd isn't it. I've thought VF has needed to get a clue since the eighties, when they brought heroine chic forward.

Very blatant.

It certainly is...

I threw up a little and spit it the fuck out! What a damn shame. The more things change, the more they stay the same. P U

I'm not surprised considering a number of publications like those still live in LaLa-land when it comes to the diversity of this nation.

Zoe Saldana was only in TWO of the biggest movies this year (one of them being the biggest movie of all time)...
Burn Hollywood BURN!

I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here
