Alot of people in the media over there did. That reaction was under reported here.
Trudeau brownface

Quoted for the truth.
I remember the Ted Danson uproar quite well too.
And I agree that Quebec is probably one of thee most racist places in North America. But the funny thing is, they don't believe it.
Well then apparently you have not been paying attention to posts from members such as Zaibetter, Latin boy, or Butler1000...can’t say that I blame you!
:rofl:
Really? Did anyone at the event complain or criticize JT for wearing brownface? Did any parents or students object? Did the school administration discipline him? Obviously not. It would not have been understood then the way that it is now.
The world has changed considerably in the past 20 years. That’s why conservatives are so worked up all the time; they want the world to go back to what they felt familiar and comfortable with. It won’t happen. Progressives lead and shape the future; conservatives have to be dragged into the new millennium crying and whining every step of the way.
It's called White Privilege.
And in this case add in Prep School/Who's his Daddy privelege as well.
Not anymore though. He is an international hit. And a public embarrassment to the nation.
Third incident confirmed now. How many more will it take?
I suspect that there will be more shit come out on JT in the next couple of weeks.
I'm just waiting for the cons to unleash JT's "me too moment" on him and finish him off.
There have always been rumours that JT is a fiend. I suspect that information has been locked in a vault until the perfect time so that it can be brought out into the light of day to inflict the kill shot not just to JT but the liberal majority.

It's been far longer than 20 years that "the world changed" .
The social outlook of the nation of Canada has not changed that much since 1999.
The "world changed" in the 1960's. Truly it did. When Trumpites chant about "make America great again" , they don't want to back things up to 1999, they want to take us back to 1949.
I get tired of the term White Privilege.
If one does business abroad, you quickly realize there are Chinese with privilege, Japanese with privilege, Indians with privilege, Latins with privilege, etc. etc. Hell, there's Nigerians with privilege, Kenyans, Zimbabeans and so on.
What people describe as White Privilege is mostly economic and hereditary privilege. At this time in history, Caucasians just happen to be on top of the economic pyramid closely followed by Asians. That's why White Privilege is so fiercely targeted by the Left.
A racistWhat I find disturbing is he went through all the trouble to blacken his arms and legs as well.
I mean who the fuck does that??
Yup. I agree for the most part. The key word is privelege. He is a trust fund kid who grew up wanting for nothing, handed his success by dint of birth and wealth.
To say you didn't know this was racist is 2001 is ridiculous, especially as a teacher.
He just assumed that with his position, he could do it anyway.
You're talking about Trump, right?
'Cuz you have had no problem with those issues with Trump previously.
So why now?
Nonsense.
That word seems to get tossed around these days an awful lot.
I don't think Trudeau is a racist. Not at least what I consider to be a racist. If you had labelled him a hypocrite I would have agreed with you. Or if you had labelled him a dumb ass I would have agreed with you. But a racist?
JT is a lot of things, but a racist is not one of them.
A drama teacher who put on inappropriate costumes.
Like that's never happened before in theatre.
Different political system. And it was speculation on the mechanics of how.
The Liberals have no choice but to keep him, try to ride out the storm, hope for a minority govt or a Conservative Scandal.
Very much apples and oranges.
Overt, no.
But considering the social and academic circles he ran in his is the racism of "be nice to the serving class, and after a few generations of assimilation the smart ones can be our accountants, doctors, lawyers and even VP.
But certainly not in the board rooms and political leadership.
His is the backslapping joke in the change room type. When they aren't around.
