Henry Cavill's gf Natalie apologises for photos from 2008 Namibia trip

[Sneaky Oliver 20,096]

The white people from US should stop getting offended over every single thing they find online and stop creating stupid petitions. If her story is real, there's no reason why to attack her or Henry

This literally smells of white people 

 

What kind of a stretch is it to try to cancel him over this

The tribe is the one who painted and dressed her. Lets not pretend to be woke about this. If they dont see the harm in this then why should we be criticizing it. 

Personally, I dont think her wearing there clothes is weird but the coloring of the skin is weird. Again, if the tribe did it, who are we to get upset about it?

It's more embarrassing that she was on My Super Sweet 16 

[RenegAde 16,128]

She shouldn't  apologise for this , the indigenous people not only gave their consent but were even the ones who dressed her like this .  

This is one thing that I dislike about  Americans and their silly savior complex .

Ok at this point I’m convinced that these are smear campaigns orchestrated by the right wing. This really ****ing ridiculous. 

[HEARTSTOP 3,109]

Dude the people there literally integrated her into their culture, how is any of this offensive? Unless they forced the people to do it, or if she made fun of it, I don't see what's the deal?

And if you see a problem in this, you're forbidden of trying pastéis de nata when you come to Portugal. It's cultural digestion.

He proposed to me but he is still finding the courage to show me into society. 🤭

This just goes to show how it takes more than a quick glance at a situation before making a judgement about it. On first inspection, you're like "whoa, this is basically blackface" then you find out a genuine tribe made her up in this as a tradition and you're like, "well, that's ok then." But I bet that isn't enough for a lot of people. Thing is, there is no such thing as cultural appropriation if said cultutre is fine with it and even suggested you adopt it. Most cultures consider it a compliment when outsiders adopt their ways. Culture cannot be significant if it stays within gatekeeping confines. The whole point of culture is to spread it. Cultural appropriation is definitely true in cases where people adopt a culture without understanding it and misrepresent it, disrespect it or even claim they invented it. But taking on a culture you understand, respect it and give credit to its origins? A culture that its people suggested you take on? That's just cultural exchange, know the difference. It's not the place of westerners to decide what's acceptable and unacceptable to an outside culture. Just because these pictures may look strange to an outsider's eyes does not mean that every native group who have knowledge of these practices will view it that way.

OMG this is so ridiculous to even post, "44 have signed" really? this is not even a thing... Go off and keep complaining about cancel culture and defending so passionately your muscle daddy fantasy from "bullying" i guess

I agree, my ignorance showed their.

I guess where I am from, Canada to be specific, any form of blackening or darkening the skin other than tanning is a big no no for white people because of the history with black face and all.

But I do see this particular case being different. Not everything is black and white 

[Lady Adga 8,664]

She should not have apologized, she did nothing wrong. It was the tribe who agreed to paint her for the initiation. Americans once again believing they have authority over the whole world and all cultures.

44 people have signed 

 

This isn’t even news.
