no it wouldn't because that is a generalisation this isn't, it focuses specifically on one man

He is a caricature of one man not a race of men.

Hooded eyes do not apply to one man.

This is amazing

The reason he included the epicanthic fold was that he is rich enough to do so. It's nothing to do with racism, it's vanity. He wants people to like his costume and him.

Racism my arse

What on earth has that got to do with being Rich? :joker:

It is quiet funny he has dressed up as other races for years in his comedy shows but when he does an evil dictator for Halloween people are fuming.

That make up is very expensive and 9999/10000 people can't afford it

Not really. Little Britain and Come Fly with Me were constantly under fire for their racially insensitive stereotyping at the time they aired. I remember all of the backlash over them dressing as Thai women. So much so Matt Lucas even commented recently that he regrets it.

Yes because THAT'S clearly the issue here.

However you'd be surprised at the quality when it comes to affordable costumes and make-up. I saw many zombies in town last week that looked like they'd just come off the set of Walking Dead. But that's not really the issue.

Giving yourself hooded eyes is crossing the line. Would blackface be accepted?
No. So I don't see why Asian eyes would either.

Or spray tan, because that's making people look Brown.

Alf 01-11-2017 06:20 PM

Isabell from Big brother is a massive racsist because she's always Browning up. I can't believe all those people voted for a racsist.

Alf 01-11-2017 06:22 PM

That was called sarcasm by the way.

Alf 01-11-2017 06:26 PM

Nicole Scherzinger went as Cleopatra, how dare she culturally appropriate an Egyptian ruler?

Yeah because a sun tan is blackface. Everyone with a tan is doing so to mimic black people.

Do you ever get tired of making stupid comments?

Yeah let's ignore the history associated with blacking up to ridicule and humiliate a race and just make their suffering insignificant with pathetic attempts at wit.

Try again.

Are you saying all North Korean people have hooded eyes?... David Walliams isn't saying all North Korean people have hooded eyes.

Are you sticking up for this Brown facer? that's not like you Marsh, you're usually one of the offended brigade.

Well you declared David Williams wasn't suggesting all Asians have hooded eyes implying that was my issue?

I hope you're saving all this material for the book.

What a riveting read.
