Stuff like this and the “base” he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

    He dressed up as Aladdin once, so that means he hates brown people or something.

      The multiple instances of black/brown face… he obviously didn’t care if he did it repeatedly. Stop defending a racist twat. There is also the fact he applauded a Waffen SS member.

        I still don’t understand why it was such a big deal…

        I get that blackface is an issue in bigger productions because yeah, they should really cast a black actor instead of putting makeup on a white one, but this was (as I understand it) a high school play where an actor of the correct race was probably not available (I know it would’ve been hard to find where I went to school), and even then, it most definitely wasn’t a paid gig, so the issue around stealing jobs is completely moot.

        Is it insensitive? Oh yes. Is it actually hateful towards black / brown people? I don’t think so.

        “They should learn the value of hard work” is on a completely different level, IMO. As if they don’t work as hard as anyone else.

        Before mimes get nervous, let’s talk about Drama club and the notion of intent. “Both sides”-ing is such cheese.
