The campaign of Canadian leader Justin Trudeau was impacted on Wednesday by the publication of a photo of the yearbook that shows him with brunette face makeup at a 2001 costume party. <\/p>\n
The prime minister apologized and said: "It was nonsense." <\/p>\n
Hour<\/em> The magazine published the photo, which it says was published in the yearbook of the West Point Gray Academy, a private school in British Columbia where Trudeau worked as a teacher before entering politics. It represents Trudeau, then 29, dressed in a turban and a robe, with dark makeup on his hands, face and neck.<\/p>\n Trudeau, who launched his reelection campaign exactly one week ago, said he should have known better.<\/p>\n "I am angry with myself, I am disappointed in myself," Trudeau told reporters traveling with him on his campaign plane.<\/p>\n The Canadian prime minister is only the last politician to face scrutiny about racially insensitive photos and actions of his younger days. <\/p>\n Earlier this year, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam faced intense pressure to resign after a racist image appeared on his 1984. Medical School Yearbook page. He denied being in the image, but admitted that he was wearing a black face when he was young while playing Michael Jackson at a dance party in the 1980s. Since then, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring has recognized wearing a black face in college, and Alabama Governor Kay Ivey is He publicly apologized for getting a black face during a university parody over 50 years ago. None has given up.<\/p>\n Trudeau's picture was taken at the school's annual dinner, which had a "Arab Nights" theme that year, Trudeau said, adding that he was dressed as a "Aladdin" character. The prime minister said it was not the first time he painted his face; Once, he said, he played a version of "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" by Harry Belafonte during a talent show.<\/p>\n "I should have known better then, but I didn't, and I'm deeply sorry," Trudeau said. \u201cI'm going to ask Canadians to forgive me for what I did. I shouldn't have done that. I take responsibility for it. It was a dumb thing to do. " <\/p>\n He said he has always been more excited about costumes than "sometimes it is appropriate." <\/p>\n "These are the situations that I deeply regret," Trudeau added.<\/p>\n The prime minister, who defends diversity and multiculturalism, said he did not consider it racist at the time, but that society now knows better.<\/p>\n The publication of the photo could mean more problems for Trudeau, who, according to polls, faces a serious challenge from conservative leader Andrew Scheer.<\/p>\n Trudeau has been admired by liberals around the world for his progressive policies in the Trump era, with Canada accepting more refugees than the United States. His liberal government has also strongly advocated free trade and legalized cannabis throughout the country.<\/p>\n But the son of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, 47, was already vulnerable after one of the biggest scandals in Canadian political history, which arose when Trudeau's former attorney general said he pressured her inappropriately to stop criminal prosecution. of a company in Quebec. Trudeau has said he was defending jobs, but the scandal shook the government and prompted several resignations earlier this year, which led to a drop in the leader's polls.<\/p>\n After the photo of the brown face was launched, Trudeau said he would talk to his children in the morning about taking responsibility.<\/p>\n His quick apology did not contain criticism from political opponents, who led the prime minister to the task for what they said was a disturbing behavior.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is insulting. Every time we hear examples of brown face or black face, someone is making fun of what they live for, what their lived experiences are like. I think he has to answer for that, \u201dsaid the leftist leader of the new Democrat Jagmeet Singh, a Sikh who uses a turban and the first visible minority to lead a national party.<\/p>\n Scheer, the conservative opposition leader, said Brownface was racist in 2001 and racist in 2019.<\/p>\n "What the Canadians saw tonight was someone with a total lack of judgment and integrity and someone who is not in a position to govern this country," said Scheer.<\/p>\n Robert Bothwell, a professor of Canadian history and international relations at the University of Toronto, said he was "stunned" by development and wondered how he would land in Parliament.<\/p>\n "We will have to see how the party reacts," he said. "I am very curious to know how the liberal members of Parliament who are black will react." <\/p>\n How the scandal will affect Trudeau's campaign remains questionable. Nelson Wiseman, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto, said he did not believe that the launch of the photo would cause people to vote differently. Wiseman said race and the black face play a much more important role in American politics than in Canada.<\/p>\n "I don't think this will change the vote, although history will have a lot of play in the media for a couple of days," Wiseman said. "It is very likely that liberals will lose elections that they will surely not do as well as in 2015, but this is not the kind of scandal that will lead voters to conservatives."<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n Source: https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1506095\/a-dumb-thing-to-do-trudeau-apologises-for-brownface<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The campaign of Canadian leader Justin Trudeau was impacted on Wednesday by the publication of a photo of the yearbook that shows him with brunette face makeup at a 2001 costume party.
