National Geographic has admitted its coverage of black and minority ethnic people has been historically racist.
An internal investigation last year revealed until the 1970s National Geo had ignored minority ethnic Amercians who weren’t labourers, and portrayed non-white people as “exoctics. Noble savages and every type of cliche”.
In the April magazine devoted to race, the editor-in-chief, Susan Goldberg, wrote that it’s a worthy moment to step back, to take stock of where we are on race.
