  Gisele Bundchen & LeBron James - Vogue

A Vogue cover featuring Gisele Bundchen and football sensation LeBron James is being accused of the worst type of racial stereotyping. The 6ft 9 in James has his hand around the waist of the Brazilian supermodel who looks like she is desperately trying to escape. The photo was snapped by Annie Leibovitz for the annual size and shape issue.
However, critics are enraged saying the suggestive image of a large black man having his way with an unwilling white woman is a typecast that has helped justify racism for hundreds of years. James is the first black man and only the third male to ever appear on the cover of Vogue. The other 2 were Richard Gere and George Clooney.

<<Vogue's idea of racial stereotyping, or just innocent fun?
