Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2573629/Toni-Duggan-sparks-outrage-blacking-face-fancy-dress-party.htmlLink to the article for the whole story but basically she went to a dress up party as whoopi goldberg (sister act) and blackened her face. People thought it was rascist and she ended up having to apologize. Seriously WTF ?How exactly can this be considered rascist ? Last i checked Whoopi Goldberg is black so to me it makes sense to blacken your face when you dress up like her. No ?This is something that keeps happening more and more these days even on this forum. Overreacting to anything that even remotely has the possibility of being considered racist.Funny part is that it's usually other white people that make a big deal out of this stuff. Peoples moral compass seems to go haywire in situations like these and it almost feels like whenever they see or hear something that can even be remotely considered rascist they have to proof to everyone and themselves that they're not rascist and overreact and condemn that person without actually looking if it's actually rascist.What's worse is that the female footballer actually had to apologize while imo she did nothing wrong.Sorry to go on a bit of a rant but this kinda thing just really annoys me.What does everyone else think of this.

Spike 12,049 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Not racist.If she had big lips painted on, fried chicken, watermelon and grape juice, things would be very different.The whole idea if it being racist cones from early film when black people were portrayed by white people on makeup.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 People WANT to be offended nowadays...The rise of social media and the notion that every body has a voice leads to:1) Poor me syndrome2) People acting like utter cunts on forums (me included -sadly)Expect things to get worse before they get better... The way people are reacting will bring a resurgence in Racism IMHO - Racism is not cool, everybody agrees with that - so let people make fun of it - desensitise the problemHave I got a problem with a black/brown person whitening up? Hell No! The world is a sad place - I'm 37 and continually questioning whether I should have children - as I'm not sure it would be fair to bring a life into this fucked up place...

We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Political correctness gone mad!She has done a lot of work to combat racism, she isn't attempting to be insulting, merely dressing up. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius 121 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I live in the states now....The united states have become really politically correct with everything. Especially, in regards to racism, anything/everything can be viewed as racist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Urgh....do I think she was trying to be racist or there was any nefarious intent behind it? Of course not.But there are too many people out there looking to be offended that they separate intent from the act itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even call a black person black it would be racism, what the fuck?And then in the other hand it's fine to call white people white. We can't be having double standards around here otherwise the film 'white Chicks' would be one if the most racist films if all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
