    Didn't you Brits years ago have a TV show where singers blacked their faces and it ran for like 15 years?

    I just find the whole thing kinda funny as in amusing. The Canadian opposition is the real racist party but I hope Trudeau gets his ass kicked for being such a sneaky little barsteward
    Yep, as others have said about the minstrels show. We also had shows like Love Thy Neighbour. These shows don't get repeated these days. The only one we occasionally see is In Sickness and in Health but despite many complaining it's racist it's actually taking the p1ss out of the main character who is an old bigot, something his wife & daughter often point out to him. These are old shows though from a different time when racism was more open and many institutions remained racist for decades after.

    Hasn't Trudeau just made an idiot of himself anyway by holding his hands up to this and then they found two more occasions which led to him replying he didn't know how many times he has done it, which suggests a far bit more maybe? Being the liberal he will get kicked for doing unacceptable things like this as he sees himself as having higher morals.

    Mezza come up with a good word there insensitive. I think better than racist. In this day and age you shouldn't do that shit lessen you offend us lol. If a guy on a alt right march did that then yeah. Behind closed doors who cares.

    If we're gonna talk specifically about Trudeau, I don't understand why he needed to blacken his whole body to be Aladdin. Do you think he might got OCD or ADHD? Wouldn't surprise me. I've always suspected him of being phoney and this proves it. He only got elected because people's got find memories of his Pa.

    I said this before and it never went down too well with some folk but racism ain't just white on colored. In India you got Hindus on Muslims and Sikhs who are Injuns. When I was stationed in Seoul Korea the first word you learn in Korean is the N word. Usually shouted from passing cars coz they know we'd rip their heads off if they said it in front of us. There's also black on black. A lot of my younger brothers don't like the way Africans try to pass themselves off as us by imitating our fashions coz they think they got a better chance with white and Asian chicks if they do.

    I won't go into the racism I experienced in China when I went to Canton with my Chinese buddy. Chinese are the worst racists IMO but you get racists everywhere in every culture. There's probably no country on earth where there ain't any.

    That's why a guy browning his body at a private party is kinda more laughable than offensive.

    The answer to the original question is yes, it's offensive and taken as inappropriately insensitive and mocking.

    Because it can be seen as mimicking or mocking another race, Whisper - it's less the makeup itself and more what it represents.

    I'm profoundly uncomfortable about Trudeau having done this; it's not the dark ages.

    Yes, its offensive, as it offends and we aren't far enough (or even ANY way in some places) into racial equality. Maybe in the future eras this can go back to being a 'fun' thing to make yourself look like a character, but we are too close to events and feelings at the moment.

    That's a good même my man

    To many Americans, Canadians seem kinda goofy as in a parody of themself is that's the right word. This joker is no exception.

    Dressing up as much as he does though seems kinda obsessive and creepy. Just waiting for a video to emerge with him in women's clothing. Then we'll all know the truth

    We have Canadian members on here, so national sterotypes are best avoided.
