Who Magazine confuses famous women of colour, again
Who Magazine has bungled a feature about women who are due to turn 40 in 2020, by publishing a photo of 15-year-old Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff instead of seven-time grand slam singles winner Venus Williams.
It is the second time the magazine has been in the spotlight for confusing women of colour this year, after an interview with supermodel Adut Akech was accompanied by a photo of a different model, Flavia Lazarus.

It’s always amazing to note that people fact check publications like Who when they are so full of gossip and observational judgements. I can’t imagine how offensive it can be alongside some unsourced royal rumour. But racism is alive and thriving in Australia, make no mistake.
No doubt…. read any NewsCorp publication on any given day for further examples of everyday racism!
Just throwing this out there

Once is awful, twice is a repeated racist decision. How many white people have they mixed up?
This is an absolute disgrace. The editor needs to be held accountable. There’s no excuse for this kind of ‘error’.. The Adut farce should have kept them on their toes.
