truthteller Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) "The video - by a popular influencer - had been shared by an official account under the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) to promote road safety. It follows other racism controversies in China, where brownface and similar concepts are unfamiliar to many. Brownface - like blackface - involves people painting their faces darker, and is condemned in much of the world as a racist caricature. The video was created by Hao Ge Ge, an influencer with a big following on Douyin, the country's domestic version of TikTok. It has been liked more than 1.2 million times on the short video platform. It features men in brownface wearing turbans, as well as several women in what appear to be south or central Asian costumes." Edited May 12, 2023 by truthteller
ZIVERT Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Wow, that user went out of their way to be racist, and it was reposted by a government official. There should be an apology issued, but I doubt there will be considering the CCP doubles down against any criticism + they hate India. Very inch resting!
Wrecked Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Why do they need to be in blackface to promote road safety?
