Kim's Racy (and Racially Insensitive) Photo Shoot

Warning: several links are NSFW

If you have been on any news sites that includes an entertainment section within the past 24 hours, you've probably seen a photo of Kim Kardashian, oiled up, smiling, and butt naked.

The reality tv star is appearing nude in Paper Magazine's winter issue. This issue has already spawned a number of interesting conversations and debates. Here are some that I have encountered: Are these photos powerful and body positive or trashy? What does this issue mean for the print magazine industry?  What does this say about women? What are the underlying racial problems with this photo shoot? Is it appropriate for a mother to pose naked? What's Kim's role in current celebrity culture? Is the use of photo shop ok? My own personal question: Who knew that Kim Kardashian could make people think so much?
