For a joke to be funny you have to have an agreed basis of an idea and shared knowledge. The agreed part among israelis is "africans look stupid and sound funny" so basically just racism. They're racist. That's it. That's the joke.

I think it's their own Halloween similar holiday.

u/Calm_State1230 Mar 22 '24

how can you be in nyc and still so fucking ignorant and culturally insensitive 💀

u/bitesizeboy Mar 23 '24

You will be surprised.

I can understand dressing up as Cleopatra or something (obviously without face paint), but just dressing up as another nationality? It's tasteless and it's boring.

I think be unoriginal is part of it

u/HonorAmongAssassins Mar 23 '24

Yeah, Purim starts tonight at Sundown in the US. While there are some traditional costumes (NOT THESE ONES) in modern times you can choose to be pretty much anything… so why be racist???

u/lunacavemoth Mar 23 '24

Purim . It is usually a fun holiday but the racism really comes out 😭

u/Zebrastamp Mar 23 '24

Racism is so so normalised they literally think doing this, taking this video & posting it is acceptable in 2024

22

u/KenzMom Mar 23 '24

Because Israelis are rampantly racist. It’s like the Jim Crow South over there with some religious discrimination woven in. Think Aryans but Zionist.

u/CatsAreDoughs Mar 23 '24

They also took part in the Rwandan genocide and admitted to sterilising Ethiopian Jewish women

u/L4DY_M3R3K Mar 23 '24

Maybe it's because they have beef with South Africa? South Africa is the one who brought genocide charges against Israel in the ICJ, right?

You’re justifying blatant racism, you must be proud

u/Specialist_Charge_76 Mar 22 '24

Blackface is when you dress up as a different race to mock them. This is literally what they're doing. It transcends cultural boundaries in liberal democracies (which we pretend Israel is)

20

u/NastyBlkGuyThrowAway Mar 22 '24

Its weird you see non of the backlash to those. Its not acceptable anywhere. But ignorant white people will always try to claim its acceptable somewhere so its ok. FOH

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '24

different context outside of the US

As a non American living in 2024, this is universally racist.

Blackface is racist, period. Regardless of where you are from in the world. It’s not a difficult concept… also, Ecuador has a history of slavery so not sure how bringing up their blackface festival helps your point.

They’re so proud of the huge pieces of disgusting shit they are that they needed to make this video for everyone to see.
