Robin Thicke Speaks On Not Getting The Cover Of Vibe Due To Being Caucasian

Q: What is it like trying to break the color line from the other side?

Thicke: When I did a recent interview with Vibe magazine I asked,
“Why can’t I get the cover? This is a magazine I love. If there’s one
magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe.” Their
response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only
white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem. I guess if that’s
what it is, it is what it is. And I respect that because I live in a
house with a black woman.

I won’t use the word “racism.” I will say it’s a tough — but rewarding — fight.
