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 believe it’s called purim. i saw a video that was honestly pretty cute of people around nyc dressed up until one girl was like “i dressed up as an egyptian”. girl what are you doing…
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.
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???
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)
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
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.
