America's Next Top Model' Creates Stir After 'Bi-Racial' Photo Shoot Thu Oct 29, 12:28 PM PDT
Weeks after an Australian variety show made headlines around the world after a group of white performers donned blackface to perform as the Jackson brothers, Tyra Banks is making headlines herself for turning her latest "America's Next Top Model" candidates bi-racial for a photo shoot.
During Wednesday night's "ANTM" episode on The CW, Tyra took the remaining six young women of Cycle 13 to Hawaii, where she took pictures of the models after they were transformed into different races.
Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with this. I thought that the girls, their make-up, hair, and costumes were beautiful. And I think there is a HUGE difference between this photo challenge and the black face photo. HUGE!!
I saw a news piece on this and though I'm not a fan of the show I agree with you that this was not the same as black face. I think that a lot of people saw the opportunity to criticize since race was involved
