French ELLE Article's Racist Remarks Spark Boycott

“For the first time, the chic has become a plausible option for a community so far pegged [only] to its street wear codes.”

The person that wrote the article (I don’t remember their name and I don’t care to) is racist. No one is misinterpreting anything. Nothing is lost in translation. Black people are not monolithic—I don’t know how many people have to say this. Furthermore, the fashion industry loves street style when White and Asian people are wearing the clothes. Black street style, however, the article suggests to be something from which Black people have finally distanced ourselves.

European fashion industry, check yourself.
