I believe this comment from Sam was meant for this post, #757:
"It shouldn't matter what nationality they are, or whether to is a fair representation of the NZ population, it is about who looks good and will look good in the clothes and represent the brand.?
I agree, it shouldn't matter what ethnic group they belong to. However, if that were really true - anyone from a minority ethnic group knows that it's not - then all of the models wouldn't be white or at least appear so.
I don't know why people are arguing about this, I was at the fashion week castings and there was a fairly accurate reflection of NZs general population which is according to NZ Demographics "73% of New Zealand's population is of unmixed European descent". Other studies in NZ and Australia show that despite the criticism, ethnic groups are actually represented at a higher proportion than their population percentage in TV advertising

Oh and Bruce is a South African.
Well said Isaac. I'm sure the boys would also appreciate it if people stopped assuming their nationalities.
