People magazine's pick for their annual "Sexiest Man Alive" cover story is ... another white guy.
David Beckham, the 40-year-old retired soccer star, received the nod on Tuesday, making him the latest in a long line of white men so honored since the magazine started awarding the title 30 years ago. Denzel Washington is the only person of color to ever grace a "Sexiest Man Alive" cover, and that was 19 years ago. Meanwhile, four white actors (Richard Gere, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp) have earned the distinction twice.

"I'm not personally slighted by it, majorly because I don't really expect publications like PEOPLE to acknowledge men who look like me based on precedence. I will say, though, whether done subconsciously or not, it's a reminder that whiteness is centered and anything outside of that remains in the pile of 'less than,'" Ebony magazine columnist Michael Arceneaux told MSNBC via email.

"I want to look at People's Sexiest Man Alive list each year and see various representations of what sexy looks like, across different cultures. I want to know that being the Sexiest Man Alive doesn't usually mean you have to be blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and, most importantly, white," added Kadeen Griffiths for Bustle.
