Lunar New Year: Chinese TV gala includes 'racist blackface' sketch

[kankan326]

I hope you don't feel the same when an African origin person walks covered in yellow paint and eyelids pulled sideways on National TV. Showcasing China - Africa Friendship.
CGTN is aired worldwide.

Of course not. Chinese are confident to their race.

Confident of what? That's strange though when Australia targets Chinese immigrants on espionage issues you cry racism. But when you target others you are in denial mode.

Western media is oversensitive. Today even taking a picture of a black guy standing in cotton field is considered racist in the US

 

[艹艹艹]

yeah sure "made up".....

How would you feel if Chinese are portrayed like this on American TV?

This is a Vietnamese girl
same hat

USA is very busy to contest between Chinese and African.

But pretend nothing happened when Hollywood make white man to play Asian role or being painted as African.

Chinese/Asian are portrayed like that all the time on American TV.

 

[Titikaka]

A skit on China's biggest Lunar New Year TV show has sparked widespread criticism and accusations of racism.

In a comedy routine celebrating Chinese-African ties an Asian actress appears in blackface and with exaggerated buttocks.

Using make-up to lampoon black people - a practice known as blackface - is seen by many as deeply offensive.

The annual state media variety show is hugely popular, and has up to 800 million viewers.

If I'm not mistaken, they also do this kind of stuff in Holland. Yet I don't see Western media erupting in anger over them ... classic double standard.

Fighting a racial caricature by promoting another one ... good job. If you want your point to resonate, perhaps try a more subtle approach.

ummm if a western actor portrayed an asian in a stereotypical way there would be a huge conterversy. btw it's the africans themselves who find this offensive. are you going to explain to them how it's all ok and there's nothing wrong?

Bullshit. I can tell you this is not true. Hollywood used to be filled with racism towards Asian Americans and still do to some extent. I recommend you read up "Sixteen Candles", which is fondly remembered as an 80's classic than an overtly racist film. Even now, Asian Americans are generally confined to stereotypical roles ...

I hope you don't feel the same when an African origin person walks covered in yellow paint and eyelids pulled sideways on National TV. Showcasing China - Africa Friendship.

Once again, search up the Dutch "Blackface" celebration. Instead of jumping on China, how about you consider the performance through a more objective lense? The way you manipulate it to a China-only scenrio not only defeats your point but shows your intrinsic bias ...

So, what China did was ok since someone in the west did that too? Yeah, right.

THe BBC twisted the fact of the gala show and spew nonsense. Fancy we argue about fake news?

To a chinese, I can say you are so black, but to a African, we can't, it will be complained for discrimination, hehe.

Someone can't understand, why should us must cater to their mind? someone here compare it with the affair that call All Chinese are spier, do you have brain to think? are they same? hehe, nuts!

The key part is "used to be". This is 2018 and a lot of you have access to internet and other sources of information. Most of us interact with people from different countries, cultires, races and religions. There's no excuse for racism and stereotypes anymore.

You also have problems with internalised racism. Darker Chinese are discriminated. Most of you Asians I've met hate everyone except whites including yourselves. You have a problem and you fail to realise it.

If you search Lankan or Indian movie stars on internet you would be shocked to see how different skin colors they have compared to those of the average locals in their respective countries! Does this not reflect the dirty mentality of their country people?
