Colorism in the fashion world

For the few years the image of the fashion industry has been changing from the positive into the negative perspective. Mainly because of some scandals that concern cruel attitude of designers towards models, their abusive treatment, drug addiction and anorexic standards of women's waistline. However, apart from all these camapaigns directed against the fashion world and fighting predominantly with anorexia there is little said about the racism in the fashion world or so-called 'colorism' what preciously may be defined as 'prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. However as some of the models have confessed the problem tends to be more complex. They say that they are affected by people's prejudice concerning the color of their skin in the same way as each person of the street. They enumerate constant vulgar comments, malicious criticism and the stereotypes concerning them as less pretty or less educated only because of the color of their skin what apart from the malaise results in narrowed offers proposed to them. All this happens of course in the sense of impunity of fashion industry workers and the feeling of helplessness of models. It surprisingly though that after all these years of racial revolution, initiated mainly by Marthin Luther King in the late 1950s and all these camapigns favorising tolerance little actually changed as the racial issue is still a real problem in our society. What could it mean though? The human hypocrisy and ignorance towards any touching issue or maybe the fact that all changes which were made actually live only on the papers and not in people's mind? If so, the future doesn't look encouragingly then.
