Vogue Cover

I'm not sure if anyone has heard about the Vogue cover but it seems to be the most relevant thing ever to what we have been talking about in class. http://www.slate.com/id/2187797/

Personally, while I think that the cover confirms stereotypes about women and African Americans, the playfulness in the scene and the lack of a concrete product associated with these stereotyped people makes me less critical of the cover.
