I didn’t get the costume when I saw the photo at first either but neither did I think ‘blackface’ when I saw it.
I guess it’s subjective and when taken in context with the other photos it was posted with, it doesnt look good.
That there was still cries of ‘racism’ after it was explained that the guy was dressed up as a white bloke isn’t a good look either though. In my opinion.
I’m pretty certain it’s either fake tan or a tinted foundation rather than boot polish.
I agree the costume is a pure shiter but if you’re gonna denounce anyone that’s ever applied fake tan or tinted foundation as a racist, best of luck with that.
