National Geographic acknowledged on Monday that it covered the world through a racist lens for generations, with its magazine portrayals of bare-breasted women and naive brown-skinned tribesmen as savage, unsophisticated and unintelligent.
"We had to own our story to move beyond it," editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg told The Associated Press in an interview about the yellow-bordered magazine's April issue, which is devoted to race.

The tribesmen are still savage and unintelligent.
Let’s see if another PC institution can commit financial suicide.
When I was a kid it was either National Geographic or the Sears catalog.
Future articles will be all about excursions into wild deplorable country, I’m sure.
I loved the National Geographic. My parents subscribed well before I was born and there were old issues in our barn going way back. In the 1980’s, my then circle of people would scoff when I would mention that pets were eaten in some Asian countries. My redemption came from the National Geographic issue that featured the city of Seoul. As I recall, the centerfold was a great photo of an open air market in Seoul in which a well-dressed Korean businessman is holding an adorable puppy up by his front paws obviously inspecting it. The caption went something like “Kim inspects what might be the centerpiece of tonight’s family dinner.”
Ridiculous, and they do this as South Africa goes after white people?
It’s impossible to take a publication seriously which refer to the Barbarian Invasions of Rome as “the migration age”
I remember when Jesse Jackson ran for President in 1984, a joke was going around that he had to drop out because a picture of his mother turned up in Nat Geo.
Good of them to now jump in. People are so sick of the PC BS.
Well, they do seem part of the same world view.
Not unlike their coverage of the plight of “indigenous people”
Can’t help but notice many, if not all, of the so called indigenous people are wearing clothes that looks like it came from Walmart?
Shouldn’t they be wearing animal skins and the like?

She was fine cashing her paychecks all these years. I think they needed some PR BS to get their name back out there so they started an apology edition.
Funny!
Who the hell cares?
But (in the Congo) they have lighters and gasoline to burn each other to death more efficiently. Isn’t that more civilized?
Just how was their depiction inaccurate? They were and are aboriginal people with nothing in the way of technical advancement, living as they have no doubt lived for many hundreds if not thousands of years.
Committing a big lie just because the truth isn’t as pretty as you’d like it to be is still a big lie.
Another guilt ridden leftist crying and asking for forgiveness. In the meanwhile what NatGeo did prove was that certain races are just not equipped to operate in the modern world. Look how often computers break down in the luxury hotels in bush country and how hard it is to get a heart transplant when you need one in the Asian sub-continent....... oops
Puppy chow means something different in Korea than in the US.
