It’s not the same as black face, because it’s referring to a specific type of discrimination that has occurred with in South Asian colonialism. See ‘orientalism’. There are different mechanisms and history around racist oppression. They are all horrible, but deserve distinction.

Yes, but unfortunately they lost them after the next election 😕. The NDP needs staying power andththey need the candidates to do it.

Yes, these concepts were present and known back then, usually to the people subject to racism.

Bruh... it’s like he can’t fucking help himself. He’s fucking compulsive. I’m sure it was his thing... like a go to party trick. And I’m sure that fucker has a can of whatever the hell he uses hidden in his closet.

Yeah... CBC updated the article 🙄, but he apparently apologized for all of his 'faces'. I knew there was more to come

This is not his first racial rodeo: Not sure if you missed his admission of performing blackface earlier in his life as Harry Belafonte.

Wow Ashley- excellent article! I grew up around the same time as her music, and I remember how she was portrayed then, and the change... it always made me feel like R&B culture was a Halloween costume that got discarded, and I've seen it time and time again (and before). If you want to sing, sing music and be yourself.

I’m really glad they are! Find your tribe, and you’ll find your love ❤❤❤❤❤

I don’t know if it’s the barbershops I’ve been to, but the way this conversation played out is exactly how I thought it would. Just like hair salons, they are safe spaces for ‘some’ people. And if you buck the norm, this is how people tend to act. I’m really tired of straight people acting like there is no reason for…

100% this... I read that and was like WTH?

Yeah... I’m worried this is some kevin spacey shit

The well wishes in these comments have my heart swelling! Congratulations on your journey and I welcome you with open arms (and a big internet hug) to sisterhood! Dismiss the phobic and walk into your light mamma! And as a cis woman, I will always advocate for all of my trans people (women, men, and GNC).

RIP blow out had me dead 😆😆😆 what I used to do when I was a flat iron queen was to wrap my hair in bantu knots (sometimes only 3 of I was lazy) or the whole head of I had time when my hair was wet, and let it dry over night... it helped me salvage, and I am a shrinkage queen!

Black twitter had me rolling but then a saw a thread from a racist conservative account that people were just joining and not looking up, and I got said.... even the racists will try to coopt our shit

And... you're assuming everything at a farmer's market is from a farm, and not a food terminal...

It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here but:

Hong this comment actually helps... not sure if the places you go carry spelt pasta (made in Italy) but I can't stand whole wheat pasta either and I found the 100% spelt pasta (orzo to make salads, tagliatelle for hot dishes) was great with my system and my metabolism. It's something that I eat maybe once a week,…

I'm actually not surprised about the memo... I'm more gobsmacked by 'some versions' of white supremacy 🤡... there's only one version and it has  lethal consequences for anyone who opposes it.
