Just minutes after New York magazine revealed the cover for their annual Sex issue on Sunday, the @NYMag account began receiving criticism for the lack of diversity pictured.

Our favorite replies are below.

I don't know if @NYMag has editors of color who could've weighed in on that all-white #SexIssue cover. But it sure shows why we need more.
