Things to consider:
Every woman on its new cover is extremely thin and very, very white.
Vanity Fair already had both Stewart and Seyfried on an August 2008 cover touting "Hollywood's New Wave." And this was also a white-girl-only cover.
How about Gabourey Sidibe ?
In the article inside the magazine, the writer - Evgenia Peretz - describes them by their best attributes: "downy-soft cheeks," "button nose," "patrician looks and celebrated pedigree," "dewy, wide-eyed loveliness," "Ivory-soap-girl features."
How about mentioning some non-whites and their great attributes and talents? Gaborey Sidibe, Zoe Saldana of "Avatar" and "Star Trek," Freida Pinto of "Slumdog Millionaire" . . .
The fact that they are "young" brings a whole new discussion...
How about Penélope Cruz? etc, etc,
