Artistic or Racism?

"In our pursuit to come up with edgier covers, we will strive to be more sensitive."

Above is the cover and quote released by FHM Philippines after it received unfavorable remarks regarding their latest magazine cover. Facebook, Twitter, and the blogging community is mostly aghast by the "racism" depicted in this picture. The caption "Stepping of out the shadows" most probably pertains to the cover girl's efforts to step out of her famous family's achievements and make it big all on her own. The photograph, however, delivered another message to most Filipinos.

The cover has been pulled out and Bella Padilla was recently interviewed by BBC. Now, the world would would really come to know who she is. 'Cause I don't have the vaguest idea. (Sorry to her fans. LOL. )

Do you think this photograph is racist? Let's chitchat! =)
