Is browning your face racist?

[AntsyVee]

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

While I agree with you on Trudeau, what's wrong with wearing women's clothing?

[AntsyVee]

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

It's okay Carys. I'm American and I love Canadians

It's kinda odd that the Canadian members here ain't got nothing to say. They're probably too embarrassed to say nothing. It's there job to defend themself not yous

Yo Lord Terence

Hot damn my man I thought yous blocked me but looks like you couldn't resist a lil peek lol

I tried to return the complement and went downtown to a net café but couldn't get on a machine. Shouldn't of gone when school was out.

Have a nice day (or in yous case, night)

The gig with Trudeau as I was trying to point out is that he is a typical Canadian, harmless and goofy. I don't think he's racist, he just never put any thought into what he was doing. He's like Greta Tunberg, the face of a much bigger movement with people's pulling the strings in the background. Product of a slick PR machine.

Nah, I've never blocked anyone on here and never will.

Misc tends to be quiet, the HA board is where the action is always at! Probably find most Canadians think their PM is an idiot right now...now they know how it feels

Thanks, you have a nice day too

So, if they tell us this is wrong why are there so many mixed messages from the media? For instance...

Johnny Depp in 2013. Whilst he claim to have Native American ancestry they claim he doesn't:



Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder (2008):



How about our morality compass, the BBC? They were less so when they screened Come Fly With Me in 2010 where they had at least 3 characters:



And before that in 2003 with Little Britain where they had the character Desiree:



(don't worry, they are blokes in suits...not sure about the one in the middle though )

And before that we again have the BBC with The League Of Gentlemen running 1999-2003 with the character Papa Lazarou that I mentioned earlier. This character also appeared in the film (2005), the Christmas Special 2000 and 2017 anniversary special:



Back to Hollywood though we have Gemma Arterton in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in 2010:



So, it seems like there is a lot of hypocrisy about over blackface and brownface.

Yo Earl. of Terencia

Such hostility in you my man. And using them emoji things is the refuge of losers.

Are you getting enough sleep? Theirs some good info on this site about insomnia.

Are you getting enough sunlight? Lack of sunlight can make you SAD.

Take care

I know a lot of Canadian’s,work with 3 people and I can say that talking too them,they couldn’t give a rats a r se about his antics.Maybe the Canadian members on here do not want too get involved.

[Phill2]

It's considered racist now thanks to political correctness but it never used to be.

[lebonvin]

Nice one Phil that's what I been trying to say but you put it real good
