Racial brownface is a variation of blackface in which a person tries to pass as Latin American, Middle Eastern, Polynesian, Native American, and/or Indian.

While it is wrong, his re-election should rely on what he has done the years he has been in power. If he has improved the country and you wish to see the same path go forward, then vote for him.

I know it’s not the point but when did these become exclusively “brown” ethnic groups... you trying to tell me Shakira is brown because she’s middle eastern and from Latin America jajaja

Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister, wore brownface makeup to a party at the private school where he was teaching in the spring of 2001. TIME has obtained a photograph of the incident.

The photograph has not been previously reported. The picture was taken at an "Arabian Nights"-themed gala. It shows Trudeau, then the 29-year-old son of the late former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, wearing a turban and robes with his face, neck and hands completely darkened. The photograph appears in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy, a private day school where Trudeau was a teacher.

I saw the pics and I can't tell which person is supposed to be Justin? No one looks painted dark, one guy looks a teeeeeeeny bit tan.

Either way, it's tacky and everyone knows better today (supposedly) but so much has changed in the last 10 years. Attending a theme party in a racist-by-2019-standards costume is something that the majority of wypipo have done in their lives in the "pre-woke" time... when I was 8 in 2001, I was a gypsy for halloween and the year before that I was a genie in harem pants and a tube top so... it just wuz different timez

Nowhere does it say those are exclusively brown ethnic groups. You just decided to interpret it that way.

OH MY GOT THERE HE IS :wtfga: I couldn't find him because he literally blends in to the background. Oh lordT that is tacky... much worse than I was imagining when I made the above comment. I was thinking he'd be in a costume the same level as everyone else but that's... :rip:

It literally says brown face is a variation of blackface in which a person tries to pass as Latin American, Middle Eastern, Polynesian, Native American, and/or Indian.“

you can’t get anymore exclusive than that sis, unless that’s your quote/you misquoted

Yes, brown face IS those things. 

But nowhere does it say these are exclusively brown ethnic groups. 

Brownface is based on stereotypes anyway. Nitpicking definitions is a waste of time and I’m not derailing this thread on an irrelevant topic.
