'I should have known better, but I didn't, and I'm really sorry.” Photo of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau wearing brownface at 2001 party published by Time Magazine:
A 2001 photograph of Justin Trudeau wearing brownface makeup at a private school dinner party has surfaced online just after the Canadian prime minister launched a reelection campaign in the wake of one of the nation's biggest political scandals.
According to Time, which obtained a copy of the 2000-2001 West Point Grey Academy yearbook in which the photo appears, Trudeau, then 29, was an instructor at the school. He taught classes, including French, until he left after the spring 2001 term. "Like all Canadians, I was extremely shocked and disappointed when I learned of Justin Trudeau's actions this evening," Scheer said."Wearing brownface is an act of open mockery and racism. It was just as racist in 2001 as it is in 2019.Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey apologized earlier this year for wearing blackface while doing a skit while at Auburn University.
"Canadians like to be pretty smug about being nice, and everybody gets along, and Canadians like to differentiate themselves from the U.S.," Rangwala told ABC News'"Start Here" podcast."So when this Ralph Northam [news] came out, of course Canadians were all like, ‘Nothing like that would ever happen here.’ And now it's this huge, huge scandal here.
