French carnival under fire over 'blackface' night
French carnival under fire over 'blackface' night A carnival in the northern French port of Dunkirk opened Sunday clouded by a controversy over the use of blackface after criticism from anti-racism campaigners. The weeks-long event, usually attended by tens of thousands of people, sees locals dress up and parade through the streets in costumes, with some choosing to wear black make-up and clothing to resemble African tribal figures. https://www.thelocal.fr/20180211/fre...lackface-night |
