What is your take on the controversy surrounding "black face"?
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/10/14/sawyer.blackface/index.html
French vogue did a spread and a white model Lara Stone appeared in a 14-page editorial in blackface. There was also the issue of 5 Australians doing a Jackson 5 performance in black face.
Is this racism?
Your thoughts?
