Although I like and appreciate what the narrator is saying, I cannot help but notice that every single model in the video is white. And I must confess, this perturbs me.
He is talking about beauty and the human form, yet instead of showing a diverse range of humans, he has only chosen to showcase beautiful WHITE humans. It is as if he is saying, these (white) people are what we should aspire to be--these (white) people are all that is beautiful and good in the world.
I could not help but wonder if the maker of this video intentionally excluded non-whites because he felt they were not beautiful or worthy of artistic value.
Hi. I'm the Vegetarian Cannibal.
My primary diet consists of broccoli and tofu and things like that, but I've been known to spoil myself on organisms higher up the food chain. Babies mostly. Sometimes clowns.
I'm a writer and this is my blog. :) I don't eat any of my fans, so don't worry. Just promise to clean up after you're done!
