Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's partner, Dasha
Zhukova is under fire for posting a
picture of herself sitting on a chair made to resemble a half-naked black
woman, on Martin Luther King Day. A lot of people accused her of being a racist
and insisted the picture was offensive.
FashionBombDaily.com editor Claire Sulmers was among the
first to express her disbelief, claiming the photo's message was startlingly
clear: 'White dominance and superiority, articulated in a seemingly serene yet
overtly degrading way.'
Organizing for Women's Liberation also tweeted, 'This is
incredibly racist,' after news of the unbelievable picture spread and a lot of
women organisations have condemned the act. She has since taken the picture
down. Wonder why she did at first.
