Washed-out Fashion Industry?

So went to P.F. Changs with some Fashionably Chic Friends (FCFs) and I was talking to one of them about whether or not this industry is racist. I mean, DUH! It is, but not as much as it used to be as we think about it, but with the anticipation of Vogue Noir, the other Vogues are taking notice to our ethnic models, particularly Arlenis (who is drop dead gorgeous, look @ the pics), Jourdan, and Channel. In July 08 issue of US Vogue, the three "it" ethnic girls all discuss whether or not this fashion industry is racist, and all took their editorial photos with Annie Leibovitz.
