This is patently ridiculous, especially since white people think we’re all brown, it’s all the same to them.
" In the United States and Australia, “blackface” — the darkening of skin by lighter-skinned or white people in order to “play” a minority character — has a long history. In the U.S., its origins lie in minstrelsy, and in Australia in anti-indigeneity."

"Growing up in Singapore, I’ve had every single aspect of my appearance mocked. My thick eyebrows, my unruly curls, my dark skin, my big eyes, my hairy arms: all part of an elaborate joke. & my indianness was the punchline. "
i know chinese do look down on indians, but big eyes are considered the best thing since sliced bread in asia. i don’t see curls and eyebrows being looked down on either. dark skin and hairy arms yes. 2/5.
Sometimes I wonder whether the rapper Ghost face killer is an adaptation of the native American paleface and the Cantonese 鬼老.
