Though the fashion industry has been addressing racial equality and justice in recent years, a new survey shows there's still work to be done.

also found that white men dominated the C-suite and sat on the board at fashion companies , while employees of color only comprised 16% of C-suite roles and 15% of board seat.

This lack of diversity has influenced some Black employees to feel as if they"don't belong." Two in three Black employees reported frequently being the"only" Black person in the room, resulting in an increased pressure to perform and better represent their identity. The issue begins early-on in the road to a fashion career. Less than 10% of the 2020 undergraduate student body at the top six U.S. fashion schools including Parsons School of Design and Fashion Institute of Technology are Black, the report found. Additionally, referrals

for those seeking new employment have disproportionately benefited white employees, 57% of whom received referrals compared to only 23% of Black employees.

Black people want to run the USA and they are racist.

It they’re all gay so it’s cool right?

The idea that someone should be replaced because of the color of their skin is disgusting and wrong. It’s embarrassing to see an outlet with a name like advocating such ideas

And I’m sure that all of those evil white men are bigots, white supremacist, Blah blah blah 🙄

It’s because they’re not committed to change.

And what’s wrong with that

Racism is holding on with their last grasp. Its gonna end. Theres a lot of people that don't want that, I do have hope.
