Good point. And I also think it is much more socially acceptable for women of color to be larger. Besides our plusher beauties like Mo, QL, Jenn Hudson, LaTanya Richardson, Chandra Wilson, Angie Stone, Jilly from Philly, Tocci, etc., look at the celebration of people like Sara Ramirez (Grey's Anatomy. I don't consider America Ferrara full-figured; she's a very short size 8 or so).
Any breakthrough would be if the wider society starts accepting a larger woman as a leading lady/hot starlet, rather than a character-type actress, and we are light-years away from that, IMO, despite some size acceptance efforts.
