/// Sports Illustrated chose ‘to tap into the West's past obsession/fetishization with so called savages.' ///

I have no objection to the obvious racism, sexism and sterotyping, but I detest the crass unimaginative way this project has been realised.
Without bothering to look, I am guessing 'Sports Illustrated' is an American magazine. It seems to following their ignorance of anything beyond their own shores.
