Well, to some people putting on Geisha make-up without being Japanese (or at least Chinese or Korean) is immediatly "yellow-face".

Them SJWs be crazy.

Or tanning for a "beach tan" is "brown-face" against Latinos... and this is coming from someone whose is Latina and pale as white paper O_o

(Anonymous) 2012-11-09 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Not to mention that various white ethnicities are just as brown as many Latinos.

My parents are both caucasian and are darker skinned than our family friends from the domnican republic. Like, several shades darker. I would LOVE to see what SJW would say about them.

My husband is Portuguese, and I can't even begin to count the amount of times he's been called a liar about it, because he "can't be Portuguese" because he's white.

... wtf, Portugal is in Europe, dickfaces.

I had a friend who laughed and laughed once because omg, who ever heard of "white hispanic"?! Probably, you know, the millions of people out there who ARE white hispanic. Face. Palm.

aryt

Jesus Christ. The colonies don't have a monopoly on pale skin. It amazes me how few people seem to realise this.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-09 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
So much fail, seriously. And also a basic lack of understanding by a lot of people that hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. And, yeah, a lot of assumptions that light-skinned people only come from certain parts of Northern or Western Europe or people in the colonies with that specific ancestry.

I don't know how I feel about just anybody messing around with Geisha makeup, but there is (or was) a white Geisha. She had lived in Japan for many years and that was what she wanted to be so they accepted her. And she did wear the makeup. I saw her on TV.

(There may be more to the story than what I saw, but she seemed very dignified.)

(Anonymous) 2012-11-09 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes and no; she also ignored the expectations of the culture she was supposedly representing, and the geisha community cut her off. Not knowing the situation, I don't know how much of the problem was the geisha community itself and how much was her own doing, but I suspect the expectations became too hard for her... plus she clearly wanted to show off.
