    Reminds me of how that musician Michael Jackson did whiteface 😮‍💨 I was beyond offended, we need to address behaviour like this more often, absolutely deplorable.

      Michael Jackson had a skin condition called vitiligo, which causes patches of skin to lose their pigmentation, resulting in a lighter skin tone. He used makeup and skin-lightening creams to manage the appearance of his skin, which led to public speculation about his changing appearance. He never did “whiteface”, his face was literally white.
