Men’s Fitness editor in chief Roy Johnson was taken aback by James’ image, but also reflected on the larger issue of the lack of sensitivity at mainstream magazines to stereotypes. “It’s a reminder that as African-Americans, we have come very far to have an African-American male featured on the cover of Vogue, but we have very far to go to continue to educate people within our industry regarding the power of images and the potential impact they can have on their readers.”
