Model shocked that modelling is about looks.
Indian model was told that it may be hard for her to find work because she was not Caucasian.

So here is the topic; is it OK for people to shout "racist!!!!1" whenever someone points out the difference between races, or should we just get over the fact that we are different?
Is it OK to turn a model away because their particular look is not in demand? Is it OK to turn away a 3 foot 'little person' from the NBA because they would have trouble dunking? Is it OK to turn away an obese person from the Olympics just because they can't run fast enough?
Is anti-racism more detrimental than racism?

"There are some exemptions in the case of artistic performance but it is not believed that modeling agencies would fit into this category."
How is modeling not an artistic performance?

Employers are only looking for one thing; who would put there business at an advantage. The average joe relys on his resume to impress the employer and put them at an advantage to the other people applying for the job. Other jobs require the potential employee to have different qualities. It's just commercial advantages not racism, if the modelling agency was able to sell just as many clothes they would hire in a heartbeat.

People need to get over themselves.
The other day in a circle of friends (And my sister) I complained about how bad the black population of our grade smelled. Conversation went like this.
Me: "Damn, cavena smells terrible."
Sister: "Is it because she's black?!?"
Me: "Have you walked within 20 feet of her? It's not because she's black, she smells like shit. All her friends to"
Sister: "That's the way they are, you need to accept that and embrace their culture. It's racist if you don't"
Me: "No I don't have to."
I was promptly slapped and my sister walks away in a rage. She is still mad at me. It's ridiculous that I have to "accept" the fact that the black community of my grade smells like shit. It's not because they're black it's because they smell like shit.
The same concept applies here, it's not because she's Indian, it's because she doesn't apply to the masses. It's perfectly fine they turned her down.
