So, now there's a push for Affirmative Action in Project Runway. LOL, it's going to backfire.

I didn't bother reading the article... Sounds like Nina isn't towing the Latino agenda.

Ari,

There is NO "latino" agenda and she's made it VERY clear that she's not having it.
I respect her for standing up to the clap-trap "latino" panderers.

She knows that Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera & Paco Rabanne (to name just a few) didn't get the accolades they have received because of any "step-up" from "latino" donkey politics.

Good for her... for not bowing to the yapping Chihuahua of FAKE "latino" politics and the "latino" dog trainers.

You go, Nina!!!.

Oh please people, does everything has to be a race confrontation?

Each season, there have been more than 1 competitor who could/should have won.

It comes down to subjective, personal, immeasurable, non-quantifiable factors that are in the hands of the judges, who in turn have their own takes on who should win.

Who will be sell-able on a personal level, whose clothes have mass appeal at the malls, who has the personality that "clicks" with the "fashion world", who has the "it" factor, who happens (that particular year) to have the most "WOW" aura.

So let's put the "latino victim" genie back into the bottle of tequila. NO ONE is discriminating against any "latinos". Now go back to that "latino" latte and that "latino" manicure.

Por favor...ya cansan con estas babosidades!

P.S. And when did "latino" become a race? Really? Really?

Yeah, Nina, that's the problem
