For tis saga, i gotta agreed with Shanmugam liao.. they made the video in retailiation to the epay advert by mediacorp. going back to the epay advert, i don't find anything offensive about it. like you say, gurmit singh also cross dressed as chinese before in pck. what's wrong with zhou cross dress as indian or malay? do we have a lot of people that thinks like michael jackson, who preferred to be seen as white-skinned rather than his born skin colour?

Have you seen the BBC comedy series "mind your language"?If shown today, it will cause a uproar on racism. Social norms sometimes change.. not saying right or wrong. It just happens and conflict emerges. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I fully catch what you mean. But "black face", while common in the past in western countries, is considered exteemly offensive now. The same process could be taking place here wrt brown face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same process could be taking place here wrt brown face. i mean the ad only factually depict the skin colour of the different races and it invokes condemnation, i can only imagine they don't like that colour as being depicted of their skin colour or they think the colour is inaccurately depicting their own. my statement was surmising the situation for the former case. even if it was the latter case, they should be realistic that tones of same colour vary, and it would be ludicrous to kick up a fuss when they take the ad too personally. i understand the background behind "black" taboo in usa. but in singapore, if there was a taboo about "brown" face, i don't understand how it can come about especially when it is the natural skin colour of that race.

Acemundo Supercharged July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 mediacorp want save money, hire one person and ask him to dress as other race in one package yes, an advert is just something to rouse people interest in a light hearted way. instead of viewing it light heartedly, these people viewed it with heavy heart. start to complain the colour is not correct or it is wrong or offensive to depict that colour.... even people within same race or brothers within the same family will have different shades of the same skin colour......how to expect an advert to depict a skin colour that is representing all in the same race?
