Abstract
In this paper I will be discussing whether diversity is or not being considered in a reading titled “Bloomberg Businessweek Apologizes for 'Racist' Cover”. The cover of “Bloomberg BusinessWeek” is causing quite the stir, it is stated that the cover they have released on one of their latest magazine came off racist to some. Throughout this paper I will be sharing whether or not I feel that there a problem with what was displayed in the reading or is someone just overreacting. I will also be discussing if I think things should or should not be done differently.
Bloomberg BusinessWeek Magazine cover is causing quite the stir, it is stated that the cover that was released on one of their latest magazine came off racist to some. This resulted into a Bloomberg BusinessWeek apology, the cover that shows an African American and a Latino person(s) wallowing in cash, drew offense at what many saw as racist depictions. On the cover diversity was displayed but only to a certain extent, the cover did not display diversity correctly, if so there would have been an image of each race. Diversity means different views of actions, problems or opinions so instead of just using African American or Hispanics; the use of other races should be present. I believe that the writer should have been a little more professional in his choice of cover piece. I do not believe that anyone is overacting, if no one acted on this then it would just fly by like everything is fine and dandy. I am glad that someone acted upon this issue because if not, an apology or change would have not gone into place or said. The author Andres Guzman states “that he meant no offense by it” which resulted in Bloomberg Business apologizing and stating, “things should and would have been done differently if they could do it over again”. As much fault, as this is the artist
