Cameron Russell is a twenty seven year old whose been modeling for ten years. From Victoria Secrets runways to Vogue magazines she has been the image of a perfect woman.

By the age of sixteen she received her first gig with Ford Models agency and has been one of America’s most iconic models. This topic is very interesting to me because of the message behind it.

She explains the only reason she was able to have a modeling career was because of a genetic lottery. Describing that being a white, tall and pretty woman was America’s perfect person. Cameron then informed us on how her looks gets her out of trouble, but how it is unfair to others who does not look the same as her. In 2012 120,000 Blacks and Latinos were pulled over in New York because of their appearance.
