The Next Day Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Is this show about mocking people cause she did that well. Can't rap for **** but went through the trouble of blackface and I guess that's supposed to be a respectful tribute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Trees Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) That performance was a hot mess. If the judges loved that, it exposes the lack of musical talent in that area Edited April 29, 2023 by Mean Trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I mean countries have a different society and also history than Usa. When 99% of people are from same race basically you can't perform all the artists from a different race?. Maybe they can insist less on the make up but it's not mocking someone, it's really a tribute to the talent of an artist. This is a very popular format in all the world... Latinas are doing white people, black people all the time, asians are doing white and black people all the time. this is a chinese man doing Taylor Swift in the chinese version here someone from Mongolia doing Doja Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machete Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Here comes the white European users insisting racism is only a thing in America and no one in the 99% white countries care about race (when actual Black Europeans speak out on racism too but are silenced)...

AdrianNicki Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Define "love it" because there is nothing in this clip that tells me they loved it. This show is a hot mess in general. Most of performances are bad and I feel like they've been inviting bunch of nobodies tbh. I have no clue who that lady is and I'm Polish. I'm surprised this show keeps going.

Blankspace2010 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Eastern Europe is a different culture than the US. Blackface isn’t automatically considered offensive in every culture and country worldwide. Americans need to stop forcing their ideals and sensitivities down everybody’s throats. However, I think it’s unnecessary to do blackface but Polish people don’t have the history US has and this doesn’t have the same ramifications or meanings there. I still find it unnecessary and due to my knowledge and experience in NA - I find it offensive - even though it isn’t necessarily the same meaning in Eastern Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOYOKSupermacy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Maybe yall should stop projecting US cultural standards to Europe. Black face was never a problem here and the negative perception of it only comes from US history, not ours. It's giving "Spain should stop using the word negra/negro!!!!!!!"

There’s a huge line of events that lead to extremely severe connotations of black face that don’t exist in Poland. America isn’t the world and your view points in America aren’t the “right” ones. Obviously because you’ll never be able to look past your institutionalised thinking of your culture and country - you’ll clutch your pearls and call people racists for acknowledging that this doesn’t necessarily imply racism in Polish culture. Lots of cultures emulate, pay tribute to and praise other cultures through imitations and it’s seen as a huge honour to those cultures. I’m not necessarily saying this is right and it’s very unnecessary but I don’t like that the automatic every country must have experienced social development the same as America.

Every single time racism is brought up yall defend these regions by saying they don't know better. THEY DO! They consider it cancel culture when called out and called a 'Americal ideal' eveh when black europeans (like me and numerous others) call then out. They don't care.

cockatoo Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Why do people still insist blackface is a US only thing? The UK had a show up until the 1970s called the black and white minstrel show where performers wore blackface. It's now largely seen as an embarrassment that it was ever allowed to air and blackface is very much seen as racist here. Also the Netherlands has a tradition called Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) which involves performers wearing blackface. In the past couple of years they've switched over to a different character called Roetveegpiet (Sooty Pete) due to the backlash from their own people about how racist it was. Zwarte Piet on the left and the new Roetveegpiet on the right. This is not just a US issue and lots of Europeans know that blackface is bad.
