I saw that. Unfortunately, this is truth not only in NY, but especially in Europe. |

At the same time I read online another article in which they actually did a math calculating the number of Caucasian and African-American population in ratio to models, especially in Europe. According to this math, the ratio should be about right (though it was just in regards to white to black models) |
