Shape changers and Height of Fashion

[Muzouka]

How does the Vanity - Height of Fashion(You gain a a+3 bonus on Diplomacy checks against nobles, politicians, and artistocrats of your race.) work for those that can shape change? If taken by a Kitsune that is in human guise does HoF give bonuses against humans or against kitsune?

If your race is kitsune, then it only works against others of your race. Which is kitsune.

Sounds like it's a tall tail of trying to be foxy... let the pun-ish-ment fit the fashion crime.

It took some time to find it, but I'm gonna assume it's from Season 5 or earlier Guide;

Height of Fashion (Fame 20, 2 PP), retired Taldor Faction vanity:

Your contacts among the Taldan aristocracy allow you to constantly update and adapt your fashion so as to never appear out of style--be it at court, on the road, or even in combat.
You gain a a+3 bonus on Diplomacy checks against nobles, politicians, and aristocrats of your race.

kitsune is your race.

Isn't there a trait for kitsune that allows them to be treated as human, at the cost of a lot of important things?
