I think it is insulting/mocking, too-I don’t get why the city would allow that caricature of a welfare queen/ethnic stereotype on display if they are serious about equality in their exhibit...

I entered a Target store a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t have what I wanted anyway.

In the long section of women’s clothes they now have a gallery of Plus Size and larger women’s pictures on six foot tall display reproductions in various poses. The customers apparently couldn’t relate to Eva Longoria or Sofia Vergara or Jennifer Garner types.

When you’re selling clothing to fat people, you need fat models so the customers will be able to judge what the clothing will look like on them. It’s just good business.

Of course you’re right.

It was just that I hadn’t gone into a Target Store for a long time it was a sort of culture shock thing.

One look at the customers made me know your idea is right, though.

And all the stores’ skinny suits for men aren’t for me, either.

Those customers may be natural born XY males ... but they're not men.

I haven't been in a Target store for a long time. Thanks for reminding me why. ;'}

“ Compare to what Western culture used to do.”

We (Western white guys) designed machines that could either 3-D print this or computer-controlled carve this.

We have to give the original (white) guy credit for the design, though.

Like Uncle Ben and the woman on Land O Lakes butter, they couldn’t make it past the woke era.

I see Letitia! Don’t you?

When this statue was commissioned, the expectation was that it would be unveiled in a country where Kamala Harris was the president and Trump was behind bars as a result of the work of Tish James and Fani Willis.

We were supposed to be living in a black woman renaissance right now.

You jest ... but pictures of skinny chicks won’t sell clothes to the “big boned” gals. They don’t look like “Eva Longoria or Sofia Vergara or Jennifer Garner” and they’re very much aware of that fact.

I don’t get why the city would allow...

They didn't just allow it, they're promoting it.

You won't find anyone more racist than someone who calls themselves "liberal".

,,, wait for the bitching to start about the twelve foot height. How limiting can you get?!!! Throw more money at a fifty foot statue to make sure racism is kept in check. LOL!
