Victoria’s Secret Reminder: Young, Thin, White Women are the Definition of Sexy

by | Apr 19, 2017 | Opinion | 0 comments

Here we go again! This European standard of beauty is being shoved in our faces again, as Victoria Secret releases its annual “What is Sexy” list. Social media did not hesitate to call them out on their bias.

Not that we need a list these to tell us what sexy is but does this really come as a surprise! Victoria Secrets is arguably one of the largest lingerie providers and young, thin, white women have dominated its marketing since inception. Not to say we don’t see other ethnicities sprinkled in there but young, thin and white seem to be the status quo.

I’m sure some type of apology or explanation will issued soon to make sure they don’t lose that trillion dollar buying power from us. Don’t fall for it!
