Why is the only image for steatopygia an old picture of apparently primitive African women? Many people have this condition today, and using such an image perpetuates the following ideas: 1) That this physical characteristic is primitive 2) That only African women have such a primitive physical characteristic 3) That white people and men cannot have such a primitive physical characteristic 4) That this atypical physical characteristic is something exotic, and therefore that the people who have it or are portrayed as having it, are exotic, weird, atypical.
