Quote:User banned (1 month): dismissing concerns surrounding blackface
Mr.Adele wrote:Why are people bringing up a blackface case of decades ago from a country that barely has any concept of what blackface even is (just to let y'all know, it is still normal for people to do blackface on national TV in Brazil and the general public simply does not care because it is not seen the same way Americans see it, and specially not decades ago), when another actress running for an Oscar this year had a case of blackface in the US less than a decade ago: Zoe Saldana for the Nina Simone biopic, in 2016.
Let's not forget the video of Demi Moore kissing a 15 year old kid multiple times when she was a grown adult woman. Much worse, imo.
It is so ridiculous to pick and choose what to be mad about, especially when y'all are choosing to attack the only Latina in the category, who could become the first ever Latina to win best actress in the 97-year history of the Oscars. Embarrassing.
