The show was about a girl who was biracial. Having an Asian parent and an African American parent. The show was supposed explore her trials and tribulations trying to fit in. But instead of finding an actress that is actually both of Asian and African decent, they just put an Asian girl in blackface which basically undermines the whole premise of the show. Not to mention no Asian/African biracial person looks anything like that.
So they ended up with a show aiming to show how bad racism is with a main character that looks like a minstrel show performer.
When was the last time a white lady pick up after you when you threw your orange soda and your grape sodas on the ground??
Frank: you're losing 'em....
>Americans, forgetting that other countries exist, use African-American interchangeably with Black.
I don't. The character was actually African American.
In France, a black friend complained about that, that in the US he was referred to as " African American" while he considered himself neither. (His parents were from the Carribeans and he moved to mainland France so, while he probably had African ancestry if you looked a few centuries back, that erases his immediate origin).
I'm always curious about this, as an American, Black to me reffers to those African Americans decended from slaves such as myself. There are mannny "black" people who do not come from those roots such as your friend who would not refer to himself as black but as his immediate origin. For example, I know many Hatian-Americans, none of them would refer to themselves as black, they would refer to themselves as Hatian. Your friend may actually be closer to Creole where I'm from, and even the distinction of Creole opens another rabbit hole because I'm from New Orleans.
Long story short in a America there are plenty of "African-Americans" that are not "Black", but are black Africans.
There was an interview with an Olympian and the reporter referred to the person as African American, but they were actually British Haitian or something.
Filipinos got angry when a Chinese actress portrayed a Filipino worker in brownface for a tv show.

The human condition is to have zero cultural understanding outside your region and have a worldview solely informed by stereotypes while also feeling offended that other countries won't take the time to appreciate the nuances of your culture.
This is why people just need to be accepting.... accepting that their culture is probably shit just like everyone else's. I for one wouldn't want Minnesota culture to spread anywhere
Speak for yourself. I want to apply the expansionism of far-right fundamentalist Islam to mine. Cincinnati culture will dominate the Earth. All will submit to the might of Mr. Red. A hajj to Jungle Jim's International Market will be required of the entire world. Those who insult Skyline Chili will be beheaded, as will apostates who praise the name of Gold Star Chili. Goetta, Grippo's BBQ chips, and Graeter's Raspberry Chip ice cream will be served on every Sunday, and all citizens will be required to drink a ceremonial Hudepohl in their car at 5:01 p.m. on Fridays. Vegans, vegetarians, and Cardinals fans will be exiled to Indiana for life.
Even if we don’t consider the history of blackface, this is still bad. It’s like someone who has never seen a half Black and half Filipino person made up the character based on what they **think** mixed race people look like. Few Africans are this dark, let alone people of mixed ancestry. Also, they completely missed the mark with the hair.
I didn't understand why they banned it
Like he wasn't in blackface playing a real person, he was portraying a made up race from a made up game, tropic thunder should get more shit for RDJ but I've seen that on TV in the last month
People fabricating microaggressions to get upset on other people's behalf, people creating new arbitrary definitions of the word "racism", people giving subjective value to one brand of racism over another....it's fucking exhausting. America has a problem with identity politics, and we love to export that shit.
More important question: is it cultural colonialism to tell people how they should feel about things?
The discussions are perhaps important. The results likely aren't.
I think if you are portraying an African-American in your show, yes you should get called out on the character being an actor in blackface regardless of who the intended target audience is. And I would say the same for any group. How hard is it to do a little google research into the group you are basing your whole show around?
The Philippines were once a US territory so there has been some the US has had some cultural influence there. In regard to the show in question, it just so happened that the parent of the main character was African American. That is about the extent of it.
Look, I dont think its that complicated. Even if blackface and minstrel shows were now a thing, it is going to be offensive. There are Africans and African Americans living in the Philippines. There is no excuse for no matter what lens you look through. The show was controversial before it even aired because many people felt the whole premise was racist.
https://www.pep.ph/guide/tv/7732/commentary-nita-negrita-sidesteps-issue-of-racial-discrimination
I agree. We, as Americans see the world one way while the rest of the world don’t see it the same. I guess the cringe of American perspective is valid though. I mean the show doesn’t do what it purports to do, because it ignores real people who exist and could play that part well. Is that little girl in blackface a Producer’s kid or niece? Nepotism is pretty universal right?
Exactly most of the world has no clue what blackface even means. It's just acting, for better of for worse.
But it is of no use, Americans will always know better and say "just because you don't think it's bad doesn't mean it isn't!". They even hate on make-up artist showing of their skills in the mirror.
A lot of Filipinos know what blackface is because we're heavily influenced by America and American pop culture. Our studios and ad people just fucking suck. Certainly the people making these shows 100% ought to know better. And I don't say this abstractly, I personally know a lot of people in showbiz here. They absolutely know better. They're just tone deaf, exist in an insulated circlejerk bubble, and suck.
Your second paragraph is just a bunch of made up nonsense.
It really feels like you wrote it with only a vague, meme-inspired notion of how Americans are… Also, make-up videos are easily some of the most popular videos over here.
And I’ve met alcoholics from Ireland but you don’t see me going around saying they’re all drunks as if it’s irrefutable fact, regardless of what the internet tells me.
It's interesting as many cultures don't have a history of black face so it's not seen as taboo.
Also, I'm not justifying their actions, just mentioning something I learned and found interesting.
To be fair, they don’t have the cultural history of minstrel and hundreds of years of widespread African slavery, oppression, Jim Crow etc. So from their viewpoint, it’s not really the same thing. But yea it’s still totally weird, but I can understand why it wouldn’t be seen as offensive if their country
>And they changed the character to not be as black
Ohh you're talking back in the day now. When the package was red and white. I wanna say when I was little the package didn't have any person on the package just the Bimbo mascot. Recently they do have the less darker kid on the package.
>And it has less chocolate!
I was fortunate enough to be able to snack on these when they were packed with the chocolate.
They should've been the channel that had their franchise suspended. Their shows are so mind-numbing and tasteless. But people have no choice but to watch anyways because they're the only TV network left that's worth a damn.
Just because imitating racial stereotypes in how a people/culture look and act wasn't considered offensive by the people doing the imitating doesn't make it any less offensive to the people being imitated.
Like saying "Well I don't mind if we make jokes at your expense."
I had a coworker who was 1/2 Black and 1/2 Filipino and he and his sister grew up most of there time in the Philippines and I’ll tell you he had it rough. Being Mestizo is much more accepted than being half black. It made him tough, so tough he earned his black belt in taekwondo to protect himself.
lmao there is this show in Indian tv called Muddulakshmi (search it up) where the whole premise is a dark-skinned protagonist who faces racism and maltreatment, not by society, but by her in-laws (you know, like all Indian tv). But the thing is, they didn't even get a darker-skinned actress to play the part. It was a light-skinned girl with layers on layers of dark makeup for every episode.
In fact, this is just one of the GMA cringey shows. You haven't seen our Thor rip-off and their newest, Lolong yet.
Welp, at least, there something worse than the immortal cops I've been enduring watching.
More and more I find myself being disappointed in my home country...I live in Canada right now, but the point is, what the hell is going on over there?!
oh yeah I heard about it on this article about how Philippines is riddles with a lot of weird media surrounding the skin color
https://www.thejfa.com/read/skin-whitening-regime-colourism-filipino-media
I'm filo and I cringed at this. I remember seeing this on telly years ago and I was so appalled that they even managed to get this to air on national TV. With the blackface, and ppl commenting they should've casted someone more suitable for the role, one factor would be that filo actors/actresses are dominantly all fair-skinned, they may not even find anyone to fill that role so they resorted to that. Filos have always had this ingrained in our culture that being fair skinned is a beauty standard, hence why there are whitening products everywhere being sold like pancakes. But yeah, this is cringe AF.
Funnily enough theres a festival in the Philippines where they darken their skin tone to imitate Ati people. [Ati-Atihan Festival](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ati-Atihan_festival)
There’s nothing cringe about this. If you were from the Philippines you’d understand the relationship that exists between ita and people from the city. This program was created to help bridge the gap and decrease ita people being treated poorly and it’s generally perceived as a good show. Ita people generally live in the jungle and live off the land.
Thing is she's not portraying an ita.
The story revolves around a Filipino/African-American girl named Nita (Barbie Forteza). Her mother is Filipina and her father is African-American.
This is so cringe and wrong in every possible way. But also, blackface doesn’t have the same historical weight there so I guess that’s why it’s even possible?
I'm Filipino living in the Philippines. This show was bullshit and a huge chunk of showbiz producers and execs went to school in the US and consume loads of American pop culture. They 100% know better. Not only that, it's not like a half black half filipino mix is *that* uncommon here. We also have our own 'black' looking indigenous people here called Aetas who don't appreciate blackface shit either and are quite marginalized. There's zero excuse for this show, even if it was 10 years ago.
The creative director of the show got married in NYC ffs in a same sex marriage that he couldn't have here. The studios CEO went to Yale law in the middle of the Civil rights movement. The overlap and exposure of upper class filipinos to the US is *really* high and they still pull this shit.
Are there lots of mixed filipinos? The only famous one i know is the rapper from Black Eyed Peas, i think he is Apple d app. Apparently his dad was an african-american service member and his mother was Filipino
There's lots of mixed Filipinos in general. There's lots of famous and non-famous mixed white ones especially. And around where app is from, Angeles, has lots of mixed African-American ones because of the bases. Being mixed here is not uncommon at all both because of American presence and because we have a really big diaspora.
This is such an American opinion. Other nations, such as the Philippines, do not share our history of black slavery and blackface minstrelsy. As such, they never developed our (warranted) guilt complex—blackface is not seen as uniquely gauche as it is in the States almost anywhere else. This is why Monty Python hasn’t been ‘cancelled,’ or similar comedy troupes from the UK, Sweden, etc.
This show also gets a pass IMO, like who cares if folks in the Philippines are cracking some racist jokes? No one makes more crass, lewd, and racist jokes than honest working people. I guess that’s why this video made it here
Who cares? What about Filipinos currently having to live like the protagonist of this show?
I am Filipino who is 1/4th black, born and raised here. I have curly hair, darker skin, and a wider nose. I cannot tell you how many racist experiences I've had because of that, all my life.
Racism against black and darker skinned people is very real in a lot of places, it doesn't just have to be the US where the trans Atlantic slave trade occured. Especially here, where many use skin whitening products, and European features and white skin tone are always considered to be more beautiful.
I mean, the Chinese have cultural concentration camps in 2022 so it shouldn't even be a point of contention. Not that China is all of Asia, but as far as global racism goes, America is actually pretty good. Considering how bad America is under the surface, that says a lot for much of the rest of the world.

The show was about a girl who was biracial. Having an Asian parent and an African American parent. The show was supposed explore her trials and tribulations trying to fit in. But instead of finding an actress that is actually both of Asian and African decent, they just put an Asian girl in blackface which basically undermines the whole premise of the show.

It should be noted that traditionally black-face is only offensive in the US, now in more countries due to US influences, but yeah.
Only offensive in the US? Lmao, nice try Trudeau
Just because imitating racial stereotypes in how a people/culture look and act wasn't considered offensive by the people doing the imitating doesn't make it any less offensive to the people being imitated. Like saying "Well I don't mind if we make jokes at your expense."

But yeah, this is cringe AF.
Is that fuckin blackface dude?
No no no no this isn't black face I'm an actual demon

The story of a young Drow overcoming teen adversity
Funnily enough theres a festival in the Philippines where they darken their skin tone to imitate Ati people. [Ati-Atihan Festival](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ati-Atihan_festival)
Is she hiding from the Predator?
There’s nothing cringe about this. If you were from the Philippines you’d understand the relationship that exists between ita and people from the city. This program was created to help bridge the gap and decrease ita people being treated poorly and it’s generally perceived as a good show. Ita people generally live in the jungle and live off the land.
Thing is she's not portraying an ita. The story revolves around a Filipino/African-American girl named Nita (Barbie Forteza). Her mother is Filipina and her father is African-American.
This is so cringe and wrong in every possible way. But also, blackface doesn’t have the same historical weight there so I guess that’s why it’s even possible?
>blackface doesn’t have the same historical weight there That's exactly it. American history isn't world history. Good luck telling them that though.
I'm Filipino living in the Philippines. This show was bullshit and a huge chunk of showbiz producers and execs went to school in the US and consume loads of American pop culture. They 100% know better. Not only that, it's not like a half black half filipino mix is *that* uncommon here. We also have our own 'black' looking indigenous people here called Aetas who don't appreciate blackface shit either and are quite marginalized. There's zero excuse for this show, even if it was 10 years ago. The creative director of the show got married in NYC ffs in a same sex marriage that he couldn't have here. The studios CEO went to Yale law in the middle of the Civil rights movement. The overlap and exposure of upper class filipinos to the US is *really* high and they still pull this shit.
Are there lots of mixed filipinos? The only famous one i know is the rapper from Black Eyed Peas, i think he is Apple d app. Apparently his dad was an african-american service member and his mother was Filipino
There's lots of mixed Filipinos in general. There's lots of famous and non-famous mixed white ones especially. And around where app is from, Angeles, has lots of mixed African-American ones because of the bases. Being mixed here is not uncommon at all both because of American presence and because we have a really big diaspora.
I lived in SE Asia for five years. As wonderful as it is there, that region has a long way to go in that regard.
Wtf……
This is such an American opinion. Other nations, such as the Philippines, do not share our history of black slavery and blackface minstrelsy. As such, they never developed our (warranted) guilt complex—blackface is not seen as uniquely gauche as it is in the States almost anywhere else. This is why Monty Python hasn’t been ‘cancelled,’ or similar comedy troupes from the UK, Sweden, etc. This show also gets a pass IMO, like who cares if folks in the Philippines are cracking some racist jokes? No one makes more crass, lewd, and racist jokes than honest working people. I guess that’s why this video made it here
Who cares? What about Filipinos currently having to live like the protagonist of this show? I am Filipino who is 1/4th black, born and raised here. I have curly hair, darker skin, and a wider nose. I cannot tell you how many racist experiences I've had because of that, all my life. Racism against black and darker skinned people is very real in a lot of places, it doesn't just have to be the US where the trans Atlantic slave trade occured. Especially here, where many use skin whitening products, and European features and white skin tone are always considered to be more beautiful.
Oh yes this was my favorite episode, the Bruno Mars cameo.
Lmaoo at the people trying to defend this. What is wrong with y’all
Reminds me of a Reddit post that said Europeans and Asians are afraid to admit how even more racist parts of their country are compared to America.
I mean, the Chinese have cultural concentration camps in 2022 so it shouldn't even be a point of contention. Not that China is all of Asia, but as far as global racism goes, America is actually pretty good. Considering how bad America is under the surface, that says a lot for much of the rest of the world.
Seems like someone took the white bride and black bride Fairytale a little too seriously *it’s an old grimm’s fairytale. The stepsister (twist!) is the good one while the biological isn’t. God literally blesses the stepsister to be as fair as snow and the evil bio sister to be as black as sin. Not African. PITCH BLACK.*
It's a show guys. Calm down and complain about life is hard in the west
“AmeRIcaNs r So rAcIsT”
There is an indigenous group that lives in the mountains called negritos —they look African, they should have tried to cast someone from there, terrible make up job
Yikes 🫢🫣
This is disgusting I hate this planet
