APExplains: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's scandal is bringing attention to the use of brownface, a practice that scholars say white people have been using for years to demean minorities. By russcontreras.

showing him in brownface at a 2001 costume party was published is bringing attention to a practice that scholars say white people have been using for years to demean minorities.

The practice of members of a dominant population darkening their skin with makeup reinforces racial stereotypes and reduces Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans and other people of color based on skin tones and exaggerated physical features, social scientists say. Hollywood would continue to allow white actors to wear racist makeup to portray black, Latino and Asian American characters through the 20th century instead of using actors of color. In the 1951 film adaption of “Othello,” white actor-director Orson Welles donned bronze makeup in his portrayal of Othello. Charlton Heston wore brownface to portray Mexican law enforcement officer Ramon Vargas in the 1958 movie “Touch of Evil.

RussContreras ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE UPPER CLASS AND THE SCHOLARS! HYPOCRITES IMBECILES!

RussContreras In what country? The only occasions in my lifetime when I've seen blackface and/or brownface is in photographs of left-wing politicians -- GovernorVA, MarkHerringVA, Justin Trudeau -- or Whoopi Goldberg's then-boyfriend, Ted Danson (1993). You're demeaning yourself, .

RussContreras Bullshit

RussContreras Classic

RussContreras Shouldn't that read like, 'Justin Trudeau's scandal is bringing attention to how racist identiterians and SJW's really are'?

RussContreras A bit too little-too late. He could do better just by resigning. Trudeau

RussContreras Really. I have never seen that. Ever. Not once. Must be a rich Elite liberal thing.

RussContreras Wait, are people actually saying Trudeau dresses like Aladdin to demean minorities, and not because he enjoyed the character? Wow...

RussContreras He should resign. But not because of this scandal, because he is a complete tool.

RussContreras Not so woke after all; but smug Canadians will give this hypocrite a pass and reelect.

RussContreras Did anybody get hurt? How about focusing on present and more pressing problems.

RussContreras 'Scholars say' is the problem. Scholars are an ill defined group and broadly can be relied upon to say anything the occasion demands. They are often hard up.

RussContreras Fvck you Justin Trudeau

RussContreras Brown face? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

RussContreras Imagine, this is the same Canad’ian PM who shed crocodile tears over young SaudiArabia’n girl who eloped in a family feud & sponsored her case in a flagrant violation of international law & caused great economic loss to his country’s economy,,such a Human Rights advoc hypocrite

RussContreras Lol no, liberal whites like to pretend their black

RussContreras Will be forgotten in a week.

RussContreras What a load of BS! I grew up in a very white Northern European country, We used to get dressed up in all kinds of costumes over the years. At no stage did we ever think we were vilifying races or people we had never seen! On the contrary we were in awe (Indians, Zulus, Masai)

RussContreras Canadian brothers - as a hetero, I have to say, he-is kind of an attractive face-man... are you going to keep him around?

RussContreras Demean? Come on Dumbasses, the intent was never to demean.

DiscoverySaudi RussContreras 😂

RussContreras Brownface isn’t actually a thing. Blackface, however, is. Do better, .

RussContreras Trudeau should ask Dave Chapelle to stand in for him as his spokesperson- of course Dave would be asked to speak with white makeup as a caucasian

RussContreras He should resign. JustinTrudeau step down. You're a racist and a hypocrite.

RussContreras Brown face is less racist af

RussContreras The spitting image of his dad. Fidel Castro 😆

RussContreras

RussContreras I'd like to hear him sing 'Old Man River'

RussContreras Stop the madness, never even heard of it before, beware 'scholars' and 'scholars say.'

RussContreras If some people’s logic is “true” then I will be the first to apologize to the Caucasian for the generations of white faced clowns... 😐 🤷🏽‍♂️ The logic doesn’t jive...

RussContreras Why not call blackface if it was black?

RussContreras When Al Jolson did it in the early 1900’s, the black community flocked to his performances. It was only many decades later that black people decided that it was racist. PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad blackface FridayThoughts

RussContreras That is a very strangely written headline

RussContreras Blackface too remember. He used Blackface.

RussContreras

RussContreras I’ll leave this here

RussContreras Why doesn't your headline read liberal Dem white people? It is far more discovered to be THOSE people exposed of those acts. Get it right or don't bother telling the story. Majority of conservatives haven't conducted themselves in that manner in their younger years, raised better

RussContreras

RussContreras

RussContreras

RussContreras Oh now ‘white people’ are guilty? HE did it, individually, HE’s the disgrace! You’re so biased it’s ridiculous.

RussContreras Fast forward into future, the whole world will be depressed cuz people can't have fun and make jokes anymore...

RussContreras 🤦🏻‍♂️

RussContreras Am I the only white person who can honestly admit I was naive & had no clue it was disrespectful until only a couple of years ago?

RussContreras When can we expect your article on blackface given the additional pictures and video? Is it also white people's fault that Trudeau used blackface, or does this only apply to brownface? Want to keep up.

RussContreras He's all, 'Do as I say... but not as I do.'

RussContreras In all fairness, the brits can’t even strike a deal amongst themselves. Nothing is funnier than that

RussContreras Yeah, he really humiliated Aladdin and other cartoon characters with that outfit 😂

RussContreras I am brown colored. But I dont consider myself either a minority nor demeaned by JustinTrudeau wearing something for fun with no intention to disrespect, rather he was only representing my race ;)

RussContreras So some people are mad he played colored characters like Aladdin but the same people are fine with Disney choosing a black girl to play Ariel the Little Mermaid?! Got us a break! He played fictional characters not real life people!

RussContreras It's blackface

RussContreras he's hispanic, no pass?

RussContreras Man, whites are totally the new Jews 👌🏻

RussContreras

RussContreras Dec. 2015, transatlantic neolibs in too much of a PMILFer swoon to see he'd outted himself as war criminal, colonialist, racist. See 'Oh Canada!'

RussContreras Wondering how it was criticized almost 20 years ago when this happened.

RussContreras ... or to look more accurately like the person you are in costume to portray.

RussContreras Somehow lefts blunders for these situations get much gentler and kind coverage...no? 🤔🤔😳

RussContreras Canada’s Trudeau apologizes for racist photos but does not rule out possibility that there are more. He promised that he’s changed and has his privilege in check now. But he also states that his slippers are a personal matter & no bodies business!

RussContreras NOT in Canada. I’m sorry but you DON’T know what you’re talking about. Get informed or shut up.

RussContreras I am 42. I am very white. I grew in North Dakota. Raised by very white, conservative parents. Never at any point in my life did i not know that black and/or brownface was unacceptable and offensive.

RussContreras He is just a fake and hypocrite person. And you wonder why people voted for someone like Trump.

RussContreras

RussContreras Why did we all of a sudden start using the term brownface and not blackface?

RussContreras Blackface?

RussContreras Does yellow face count? Because I did that I beg to atone at the court of social media

RussContreras Blackface.

RussContreras Is that what it’s called? Oh...nice way to make it sound better. Call it what it is blackface

RussContreras These fools are not 'scholars' they are RACE. HUSTLERS. There are NO experts at America's universities. NONE. Drop it.

RussContreras Certainly doesnt require one to be a 'scholar' to realise this has been standard practice for years....

RussContreras You need to be a scholar to figure that out?

RussContreras

RussContreras Once you cross the media, they are relentless.

RussContreras Good to finally see it go mainstream that JustinTrudeau is just another rich kid who was groomed to be Prime Minister. Imagine if world leaders were actually qualified to lead countries. BrownFace

RussContreras They always try to condemn us all for what one of theirs does.

RussContreras

RussContreras Thank god the scholars are here.

RussContreras he should just say he was in “dark mode” in those old photos
