      Healthcare. Tech. Shit, restaurant work. Pick a fucking profession that is even remotely necessary for the human race to progress.

      So fashion gets a special racism pass because other industries are more essential?

      You also forget that fashion has a big influence on wider culture. If racism is accepted there, it will seep into wider culture from that front.

      Or is she at fault because she trained to work in the fashion industry and not another industry that you would prefer?

      You’re delusional, dude. Thinking people deserve racism because they work in a field you don’t like. Does that make you more elitist or racist? I can’t tell. Definitely a mixture though.

          Ahhh okay. So just destroy an entire industry just because you don’t like it. Gotcha. That sounds totally reasonable.

          So let’s put that mix at mostly elitist, but also racist because you somehow believe this woman’s issues with racial discrimination can be brushed aside simply because of the industry she works in.

          Hey, while we’re at it let’s destroy the music industry too. It’s not strictly needed for human advancement. The movie industry can go too. Heck, all acting roles must go!

          In all seriousness, you’re crazy if you think the entire destruction of industries is the way to solve this. You are not right, you are insane. The fashion industry has existed for literal millennia. So long as people want to express themselves with clothing, it will always be a thing. There is no reason it has to go hand in hand with racism, and it can be reformed.
