Nude fashion is one of the great hits of the runway this year, but there is one small itsy weeny tiny problem with nude fashions in South Africa – They are racialistic.
Nude fashion is the practice of wearing pale pinks and flesh coloured clothes so that one has to look twice to see whether you are really wearing clothing or not.
However, since traditional nude colours are matched to the white skin only, it is definitely a racialist fashion that prejudices the people who were not fortunate enough to be given a light skin colour at birth.
Since South Africa is predominately black and has suffered from years of apartheid, anything that may slightly prejudice the darker skins stands a good chance of being banned outright.
Will nude fashion be banned in South Africa due to the racialistic undertones that it imparts, or will nude fashion colour definitions be changed in South Africa so that nude tones now include all darker browns and blacks as well.
