Why would the designer post the altered "fan art" to his IG, especially without commenting? Got caught and now he's trying to cover his ass.
Perhaps the designer had no clue the face had been changed. Seems more like he doesn’t want to admit that he didn’t realize the face had been altered. They hold tons of these events and there are so many models wearing many different outfits. Maybe he just recognized the dress and shared.
Excellent point!
This is a great example of how people are blind to their own bigotry (I guarantee they saw nothing wrong with this, which is why they proudly posted it), and why titles like "racist" aren't self imposed, but given by others who can clearly see and/or are impacted directly by the bigot's actions.
He's denying it, yet it clearly has been changed.
