Black man and white woman

If you go on the website of Vogue you will see Giselle Bundchen and Lebron James. Giselle is a constant on vogue and Lebron is the first black man to be featured on the cover of Vogue. Both of them are at the top of what they do, sports and modeling, hence the article.
This edition has caused quite a controversy because it portrays the black man as violent and dangerous. Not much was talked about the fact that the white woman was shown as a pretty doll that could be endangered by anything. Are we stereotyping again?
