Cancel culture and virtue signalling in fashion is toxic  

By The Fashion Archive (28Mar2019) 

  • virtue signalling: saying things that give you the moral highground and make you appear that you are morally better than others bc you have a certain opinion, but what you do doesn’t match with the things you say. 
  • Its about acting upon the issue, not only saying and seeing people that you care 
  • To educate and call people out when they’re wrong 
  • Gucci’s cancelled blablaba, but those people don’t actually support black designers 
  • Black brands: Pyre Moss RESEARCHHHH 
  • Education is key to combat racism 
  • Dolce gabbana is racist 
  • Virtue signalling 
  • Fashion specific

diversity vs tokenism By T1J (Jan25 2020) 

  • Tokenism, tokenisation 
  • Token minority person 
  • Supervisual , minimal effort is made to be inclusive to minorities 
  • Give the appearance of inclusivity 
  • No reason of them being there, no purpose of using them 
  • Sitcoms 
  • Token minority character 
  • How do you know the character is a token, difficult to determine 
  • “i am not racist” 
  • Workplace: hire minorities with the primary goal of avoiding criticism and creating a shallow appearance of diversity 
  • Doesn’t mean that the person isn’t valued 
  • As a black person, its efficient to take advantage of opportunities to increase your standing in the world, even the intention is superficial 
  • Intent matters!! 
  • How to know if it is tokenism 
  • 1 Diversity 
  • 2 Equity 
  • 3 Inclusion 
  • Is it ongoing? 
  • Equal access to resources, same salary as others? 
  • Diversity without inclusion 
  • Individual human beings 
  • Not representatives of a groups they happen to be in
