9:13Now PlayingKendall Jenner on the cover of Vogue India is making people angry. Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, and Grace Baldridge, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“After being repeatedly assured that Kendall Jenner was “devastated” by the backlash over that now notorious Pepsi ad, we see the model return to the realms of controversy this week as she fronts the 10th-anniversary issue of Vogue India.
Many have questioned the decision to put a white woman on the cover of this seminal publication of an Indian magazine. It reflects and further enforces the white standards of beauty that already permeate Indian culture, the argument goes, and betrays one of the more oblique legacies of colonialism. One only has to look at the sales (or, in fact, the existence) of “skin whitening” products in the country to grasp the insidious effects of such a preference for paleness. In other words, a white woman on the copy of an important edition of an Indian magazine is a much bigger deal than you might think it is.
Of course, this culture has not escaped the notice of Vogue India’s editors, who are as much victims of as they are accomplices to such problematic standards. The blame for such a disappointing front cover of the anniversary issue has largely, and understandably, been laid at their door.”
