吉米豈莫連連道歉，因為其主持的ABC節目出現涉及暴力和種族歧視的言論 (“kill everyone in China”)；而俄國裔的流行時尚雜誌“汽車庫 (Garage)”在馬丁路德金的生日暨人權節的當天在雜誌封面刊登的一張美女模特的照片涉嫌種族歧視，在網絡上激起反彈，被批為“老式種族主義”(vintage racism)。在這張封面照片中，俄國裔美女名模達莎 朱科娃 坐在一張特別設計製作的椅子上，而這張椅子的形狀是一個倒在地上穿着極少的黑人女子。整幅畫面詮釋白人對於黑人的壓迫和歧視以及對於這種狀態的認可。
在一片言辭激烈的批評聲中，米洛斯拉娃 杜馬，這位莫斯科街市時裝潮流明星出身的雜誌主編，趕忙發表道歉聲明：
Dear all, Buro24/7.ru team and I personally would like to express our sincerest apology to anyone who we have offended and hurt. It was ABSOLUTELY not our intention. We are against racism or gender inequality or anything that infringes upon anyone's rights. We love, respect and look up to people regardless of their race, gender or social status. the chair in the photo should only be seen as a piece of art which was created by British Pop-Artist Allen Jones, and not as any form of racial discrimination. In our eyes everyone is equal. and we love everybody.
