Greene tells us that the woman in the photo appeared to be of Hispanic or "Latina" descent. Greene says the woman might not have realized how offensive her Halloween costume was.
All joking aside all these people talking about people wearing Blackface in public have to be lying right?

Member when the wayans made a whole movie about painting themselves white and becoming chicks? Imagine if white people painted themselves black and made a bunch of stereo type jokes. There would be a bunch of outrage. hypocrites
/u/cancorn Are you trolling or unaware of why Blackface is offensive?
It's why no one complains about all the Asians doing Blackface
Note sure if you're meant to be quoting someone there, but I've seen plenty of people complain about Asian blackface. One recent example being a Korean cosplayer decided to darken her skin a little to match Somba of Overwatch, and a bunch of people gave her shit for it.
I didn't even know Asian Blackface was a thing before that guys post listing it. Just that Washing Machine one that everyone complained about because lol what the fuck is that. And the Skin Whitening stuff.
Did they learn it from the White Devil?
One recent example being a Korean cosplayer decided to darken her skin a little to match Somba of Overwatch, and a bunch of people gave her shit for it.
At first, i'm Korean cosplayer and i never heard of that before - BROWN FACE make up is OFFENSIVE thing. When i heard about that is after uploading Sombra cosplay Photos.
I've been cosplaying which have dark skin than me once before. Female dark elf from the Dungeon and fighter. but that time my coworker said 'don't makeup your skin and body more dark. Because people might be think 'UNPRETTY'. I still don't agree with that. but that time i don't have a body painting skill so i just cosplaying dark elf as my neutral skin tone. that's 3 years ago.
I especially like that there's also a different "all y'all" form that's used to refer to the entirety of the addressed people, while "y'all whitey" means the crowd of whitey you're addressing, "all y'all whitey" means all whitey including those not present at the moment.
That's what I don't get, the ad is essentially a black woman making the least controversial race relations point I can think of, apart from "don't dress like a Nazi". Which side is supposed to be the snowflakes again?
Actually...Yeah, I can kind of see that. People are offended at being lumped in with the kind of people who wear blackface as a gag. Maybe that's the point they're making? Like: this is what it feels like to be lumped in with the worst people in your group? Seems like it might be more useful for alienating the people who they're actually trying to reach.
Yeah, that sort of point is valid but tends to get succeeded by people genuinely enjoying shitting on the "privileged" and believing that they actually have the right to do it faster than you can spell shitredditsays.
To be fair I see a lot of racist shit that starts with "Dear white people". It's the start of a condescending statement that groups a lot of innocent people in with uninnocent people.
I've seen a few of these, I end up wondering if they're intentionally trying to make white people understand what it feels like to be grouped in with a bunch of people they don't know because of their race, or if it's just the meme right now to say "dear_____"
I really worry about the implications of that, because if the goal is for you to make white people feel slighted and othered to make a point, I have a sneaking suspicion they will just feel slighted and othered, to hell with your point, and polarize further.
Yeah, you're probably not wrong. Saw someone calling out /u/wil on Twitter for something similar a week or so ago- they were probably on the same side on literally everything, but everyone ended up alienated and grouchy. I'll be interested to see if the show goes to a more constructive place- kind of like Blackish has done this last season.
I think it's just getting tired of being lectured to about how racism is bad when the vast majority already knows this and don't engage in racist behavior like blackface
IMO trailer says that not allowing certain Halloween costumes is stupid. Because what she says sounds really stupid: "DEAR WHITES WE BLACKS DONT ALLOW HALOWEEN COSTUMES" - like what the fuck.
No, this is not why haha. This show is bullshit, but trump voters... despite what the_donald and whatnot will tell you aren't on some bizarre crusade against PC SJW culture. That's internet bullshit.
Trump won because hillary didn't campaign / connect with voters in key states where people have lost their livelihoods. Trump told these people that he'll get their jobs back, that he'll bring back the coal industry, manufacturing etc.
Whether he'll be able to do it or not, I don't know, that's not the conversation.
But I am bored with comments like yours. Most voters don't give a fuck about "overly PC" culture or whatever the fuck internet people think. Most voters just want to have a decent job, a way to make money to take care of themselves and their family.
What I said 2 months ago when asked why Trump really won:
There's a lot.
Dem failure to capture rust belt voters due to a shit appeal of "lol your jobs aren't coming back, just go into tech and service" vs the Republican chant GUISE WERE TOTALLY GETTIN EM BACK
Low turnout
Mounting frustration with political correctness /idpol
A dem candidate that flipflopped harder than McCain and was so dishonest that Trump's absurdity was an inverse image
Dems constantly calling the right and "Bernie bros" ebil bigots and shitting on rural whites
There is no ulterior motive with the show 'Dear White People', the worst that could happen is that it could help start a conversation, ya know? What's wrong with that? Anyway, no criticism or discussion allowed - fuck you redneck hillbilly nazi honkey crackers. Fuck Drumpft and fuck white people.

Here's an famous example of "Progressive" Blackface (Blackface and sing the whitest possible song instead of doing stereotypes)
Wearing "WhiteFace" ala White Chicks lacks the history of the Blackface Vaudeville act and the entire point of why it came about.

Oh dang this face book post
Dungeon and Fighter Dark Elf looks like this (Dungeon Fighter Online for you Gangin) and She's Korean so she's actually close to OW Hacker?
People were offended on behalf of a Video Game character?
Koreans and Latinos doing blackface is Dear White People's Fault.
