加拿大總理賈斯汀特魯多(justin trudeau)為他在布朗法斯的照片道歉。這是化著臉妝,看起來像棕色皮膚的人。它過去在戲劇表演中很常見,但它帶有種族主義、攻擊性和不尊重。特魯多身穿棕色長袍的照片周三被《時代》雜志(Time Magazine)刊登。這是他2001年當(dāng)老師時拍的。他正在參加一個以《天方夜譚》為主題的年終校慶晚會。他化了深棕色的妝,扮成阿拉丁的角色。特魯多表示,他對這張照片感到抱歉。他告訴記者:“我不應(yīng)該這么做。我本該知道的,但我沒有。我真的很抱歉。”
The photo could mean trouble for Mr Trudeau. He is running for re-election as Canada's leader and is neck-and-neck in the polls. His biggest rival told reporters: "Like all Canadians, I was extremely shocked and disappointed when I learned of Justin Trudeau's actions this evening. Wearing brownface is an act of open mockery and racism. It was just as racist in 2001 as it is in 2019." He added: "What Canadians saw this evening was someone...who's not fit to govern this country." Another election hopeful, Jagmeet Singh, said "We see one Mr. Trudeau in public, and I'll be honest with you, he seems really nice - very friendly, very warm....But behind closed doors, he seems like he's a different Mr. Trudeau."
這張照片可能會給特魯多帶來麻煩。他正在競選加拿大領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的連任,在民調(diào)中名列前茅。他的最大競爭對手告訴記者:“和所有加拿大人一樣,當(dāng)我得知賈斯汀·特魯多今晚的行為時,我感到非常震驚和失望。穿棕色臉是一種公開的嘲弄和種族歧視行為。他還說:“加拿大人今天晚上看到的是一個……不適合治理這個國家的人。”另一位有希望當(dāng)選的賈格米特·辛格說:“我們在公共場合看到一位特魯多先生,我對你說實話,他看起來真的很好——非常友好,非常熱情……但在閉門的情況下,他似乎是另一個特魯多先生。”
