Victoria’s Secret Accused of Cultural Appropriation, Designing ‘Racist Lingerie’
Breitbart ^ | 12/2/2016 | Jerome Hudson

Womenswear brand Victoria’s Secret has been accused of cultural appropriation and of designing “racist” lingerie by a lifestyle editor at Cosmopolitan magazine.

In an article, Helin Jung, executive lifestyle editor at the outlet, criticized what she called the “sexist, patriarchal, mostly white corporation” for its “brazen” perpetuation of “what is clearly cultural appropriation.”

Jung’s biggest point of contention, apparently, is that while Victoria’s Secret’s appears to celebrate the world’s multicultural beauty through design and fashion, it is actually engaging in the “exploitation of these cultural references.”

"Cultural Appropriation" is not a crime, it's something made up by the left to shame whites.

Screw “cultural appropriation”!

Until every black woman wears her hair in a natural ‘fro I’ll continue to flip the middle finger to anyone engaged in such blatant one-sided hypocrisy.

Besides, what about their much-vaunted “diversity”? Maybe Victoria’s Secret is trying to be more diverse in their clothing lines.

Hey, Helin Jung, instead of whining, why don’t you get off your a$$ and start your own company — You know, let the market place decide if they want what you are peddling.

If you are not prepared to put some of your own skin in the game then you are just whinny little $itch!!!

I see Ms. Jung appears to have culturally appropriated a western style of clothing, as that is not traditional Chinese clothing she is wearing.

Maybe Hillary can lend her a Mao outfit or two.

I think she's talking about VS's annual lingerie special, and you can see it when it runs. (I find the showiness "clutter", and hampering to the business of selling lingerie, myself, and didn't even make it through the first one I tried to watch.)

The BNN article says "Cosmo" took down the article, but BBN provided an archive link next to last paragraph in their article.

Not enough pics to really tell. You need to post more, with pictures taken from multiple angles.
