I'm not Canadian. Politically, this is irrelevant to me. I never mentioned the political implications of this in any of my posts. I strictly commented on the social aspects of it.

Also, you did not quote me about Justin. You quoted me about a Bolivian character form the US. No idea why you're telling me these things. 

My mistake. I quoted the wrong post. 

 

Sorry

Trudeau's apology: 

"In 2001, when I was a teacher in Vancouver, I attended a gala. The theme was Arabian Nights. I dressed up in an Aladdin costume and put makeup on. I shouldn't have done that. I should have known better, but I didn't and I'm really sorry.

"I take responsibility for my decision to do that. I shouldn't have done it. I should have known better. It was something that I didn't think was racist at the time, but now I recognize it was something racist to do and I am deeply sorry."

I don’t think liberals on this thread realize that you can criticize Trudeau and still want to support him on the election because whoever his conservative opponent (in terms of policies) is horrible. It just comes off as hypocritical because when a conservative does some stupid thing like this, the left is the first one to call them out.

And yes, I’m aware this is just conservatives trying to sabotage his re-election. They don’t give a damn about Trudeau wearing Brownface.

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.

Its only racist to do black face in America because of how whites used to mock black people by painting their face black. Im Middle Eastern and painting ur face brown to look like us as a joke is not an issue to me or most middle eastern. We even have a arabic singer who did a music video in black face because its an African theme and black people where I live loved it alot!

There’s a difference with the record of a person....

Trudeau does a lot for women, lgbtq+ rights, supports immigration, has called out situations/citizen’s racism, opposes quebec’s bill 21 against religious signs etc etc etc.

Probably the same can’t be said for most conservative candidates which is why people would be more on their necks

Hypocrisy jumped out in this thread. If a right leaning politician had done this back in the day, you would have crucified him

 

Maybe because right wing don’t evolve and are still racist in this day and age.:huntyga:

Most of the comments are saying this is yikes and wrong, you on the other hand liked comments saying it’s no big deal.

Yeah. Being celebrated for things that are outright disrespectful isn't something I'd be happy about.
