For accuracy’s sake...Babu was played by Brian George who is of Iraqi descent. He is not white.This happened a long time ago, just a reminder at the time we were all comfortable laughing at the Apu character on the Simpsons which is humiliating to Indians, and on Seinfeld Babu was also insulting to Indians and was played by a white man in brownface. So it was not really out of step with the times. I have little doubt Trudeau did not do it to insult anyone and even the sikhs men he was with in the pic were not insulted by it.
Oh he is WHITE, just because you are from Iraq does not mean you are not caucasian...actually he is a white Jew probably from European Jewery... BTW I laughed my head off at the time to Babu oh the times change. Still voting Trudeau, asked for a lawn sign..LARGE!!!For accuracy’s sake...Babu was played by Brian George who is of Iraqi descent.

You should paint the white lettering dark brown to show your undying support !Oh he is WHITE, just because you are from Iraq does not mean you are not caucasian...actually he is a white Jew probably from European Jewery...

Dunno, ask Jagmeet
What makes Apu humiliating to Indians? There is nothing humiliating about being an entrepreneur, decent and productive citizen. Seinfeld's Babu is not insulting either. It was hilarious then and still is today.This happened a long time ago, just a reminder at the time we were all comfortable laughing at the Apu character on the Simpsons which is humiliating to Indians, and on Seinfeld Babu was also insulting to Indians and was played by a white man in brownface.

Probably not at this point. Trudeau was quickly forgiven on CNN. But like the Jussie Smollett story, there is more to come.So do the same standards applied here? Liberal / leftie said Rob Ford made Toronto infamous
Now Trudeau made Canada infamous too!

In Trudeau's blackface West Point Grey Academy photo, where Trudeau was a teacher, who was the young girl Trudeau is shown with his hand over her chest. A student? Why did Trudeau leave the teaching position in the spring and is now reluctant to talk about his experience at that school?
There is much more to come especially now that the Canadian media has to compete with the US media to find and get the story out.

About a decade ago when I used to head up to my Muskoka cottage I often stopped by a convenience store near Barrie that was run by an East-Indian guy. Every time customers made their purchase and walked out he would say "Thank you, come again".What makes Apu humiliating to Indians?

It's not as if many people will change their vote over this, even if they are offended.
Exactly. I have considered voting NDP but can’t see myself doing it.It's not as if many people will change their vote over this, even if they are offended.
Fact is the NDP seem extremely disorganised and anyone so concerned about racism as to alter their vote won't touch the PC with a 10 ft pole.
Oh yea, he is.Okay, now I'm convinced JT has racist tendencies. Look what he changed his twitter profile to: https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
He clearly is trying to compensate by saying he has a black friend
