- I’m curious, if you aren’t from the US: Is this considered offensive in your country?

She was making herself look like a specific person, not a specific race. Simple distinction between artistry and racism.
This ^
Exactly
She wasn’t making fun of him being black…she was being him because he’s funny, it’s a compliment.
Couldn't agree more
Yeah buuut i mean its kinda offensive
@@tomasrodriguesvaz9237 offensive in the US. The US is not the world. There is a story telling skit thing in South India the place where I live. There is a character who does the blackface make up. Some American tourists visit our place and find this habit offensive. At first I never understood why they had to make a big deal out of it. But now it's different. There are certain things that are considered offensive in our country but it's fine in yours like in the Northern part of India beef consumption is considered to be very offensive and if you are known to consume beef you would be walking in the same shoes that of a cancelled person since it hurts the religious sentiments of many. People eat dogs in certain countries but in the US it would be considered as a cruel act. Cultures in different places differ drastically and that's why you should not judge someone. You can't call an African tribesman an animal abuser because he killed a wild animal. He would be considered a hero if he brings back food for his tribe.
@@tomasrodriguesvaz9237 how offended are you really? Hopefully you don’t lose any sleep over the joke
Bit of a puzzling compliment 😂
USA: fakely offended
Rest of the world: doesn't give a shit
That is exactly what was in my mind 😂
Right? Only in murica 😂
Yeah aside of the countrys that follow in the usa's footsteps, sadly my country has become one of those
As a Russian I can approve of that 😂😂
Blackface is a problem in Europe as well
To be honest I'm really impressed with her skills
Same ngl
To Americans: America is not the only place on earth. Thank you.
On another episode of Americans thinking the whole world is America:
It’s literally black face 😵💫
I think context matters. And I think here she's doing it to A) show her skills. And B) for entertainment. I don't think she's doing it as a slur or in a derogatory manner
Is this guy pausing the comment section? It seems like almost every comment doesn't even have any reply
@@user-dw3kk3cu2i Fr lol
I love it when Americans act like the US is the only country in the whole world and assume everyone who responds to them is also in America
? Dumb
@forgotten ye
I mean it's the only important country in my opinion
But anyways I agree that the white man thinks like that but certain things that are just offensive to the minority
@@keke505. No, shut up, i am a minority and dont find this offensive.
As a non-american I actually had to look up 'black face'. That girl definitely wasn't setting out to offend. Maybe Americans need to relax a little.
I'm black myself and it's honestly not offensive. Instead I'm actually impressed. She is just trying to show off her make up skills by trying to look like other famous people or characters. She has done it before with other famous people and so has plenty of other make up artists, I've even seen a couple of black women do their makeup to look like white people or characters and nobody got offended, it's basically just a trend to show how good their makeup skills are and it's actually really impressive how good they are. I get that it has a bad history but back then it was used completely different than how it was used in this video. She wasnt trying to mock our skincolour in a racist way, people get offended by literally anything these days even sending death threats to her and her familymembers which is crazy.
I think what she did is way different and more respectful than the "traditional" blackface that depicted in cartoons and what not.
Wokes
But imagine some idiots from twitter says “you doesn’t care about your own race and i care” i’ll be fuxking pissed.
🧑🏼💻"I'm black myself and it's honestly not offensive"
You must cater to white ppl cuz no matter the cause you have to understand this is offensive overall
“If men find out we can shapeshift they are going to tell the church”
The point is that minstrel shows usually were black coal like colored faces with bright red or pink lips. She made herself look like him, she wasn't doing a stereotype or mocking him, she literally just made his face and it looks wicked awesome
I'll defend her. The makeup looks great and she wasn't attacking or making light of him so...
To me, this is just a makeup look. Not the really crude shoe polish or brown paint look you see from people doing blackface. She's just capturing his likeness and if neither of them are from the US then it's not a big deal. She's not being disrespectful or demeaning at all. And just as a side note, no one who does blackface actually bothers to add different warm and cool tones to make it look realistic like that.
People aren't actually offended, they are seeking an invisible tolerance trophy that grants them absolutely nothing in life.
As a American I can say that other Americans getting offended over this is just goofy and stupid
Imagine being offended by art. There is CLEARLY no malice in what she did and it was done only as entertainment with pure intention and admiration for the creator. Can't believe we have to have this conversation nowadays.
In South Africa, two white Stellenbosch University students got in serious trouble and were suspended with a “blackface” incident. They painted their bodies purple and sprinkled glitter all over them. They were space aliens at a space-themed party. A pic was taken of them and posted on social media. Unfortunately a filter was used on the camera which made their faces appear black. They were in some serious trouble and were labelled as racists. They had to apologise for the “offence their actions caused”.
Yup, this crap cannot be made up! It’s only an issue if it suits a certain narrative…
It's not offensive.. It's really impressive
There I a difference between black face and costume make up. Historically, black face is a caricature associated with and defined by racist stereotypes. Its painting your face to make fun of black people.
This I not that. Thi is purely a demonstration of make up skill paying homage to another creator they admire. To say that any time a person alters their racial appearance with make up is racist is absurd. There is a big difference between shoe polish faced cartoon characters and special effects make up.
Only Americans had this phenomenon and they think it applies to everyone
She's using her own skin as a pallet for her art. She is very talented.
I'm from Western New York. She wasn't in Blackface. Blackface is used to make fun of Black people. She is an artist.
The amount of effort that has gone into mimicking him was amazing. I would see this as the biggest compliment ever.
It’s racist that people even assume that she did that because she is racist. she did that to show off her makeup skills, not related to the skin color, her entire profile is about makeup
I'm from Venezuela and we don't have that kind of problems here. But I get that in the US it's a big deal
This isn't the old days anymore. People get offended way too much over stuff. I figure if no harm was meant, and the person who she made herself look like doesn't care, then everyone else can just shut it.
Shut up and stop making sense. WE NEED THE HATE TO KEEP US ALIVE
Is not that now people get offended, it's that people now are writing how they feel
She didn't mean to offend, she just showed her talent and skills in doing makeup.
Super dope!!! She has some serious skills!!! Great job!!! ❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
How is it offensive? She just made herself look like someone else, and he just so happened to have a different skin tone. So what?
“She could legit be prime minister of Canada with those skills” 💀🔥
I'll be the judge here
Not offensive
She's not making fun of black people like blackface did in the USA, she's just making herself look like this dude. It has nothing to do with race, only Khaby himself, and it's purely a compliment to how synonymous these types of videos are with him.
All I saw was a woman with great makeup skills. It was entertaining and also quite fascinating how much makeup can change a persons look. For all the people getting offended or think its offensive, I think those people have watered down the definition of racism so much so that even something like this is apparently racist now. I am not defending black face for people who have misinterpreted what I have mentioned, as someone else in the comments has mentioned, context is important. I believe the people who are offended or are offended on other peoples behalf on things like this, really need to pull their head out of their own arse.
I am sure its not a racist thing, but people are going to make it a racist thing.
"Im just adding some perspecti-"
*And I took that personally*
The ppl that are offended are white teens white adults and a couple of black ppl
It’s amazing how some people get offended on other’s behalves
So happy to see this comment section being aware of the difference between black face and art.
My country is absorbing a lot of USA's taboos in all the wrong way. Some thing are only relevant because historical events. So they make no sense in places where those historical events didn't occurred nor affected.
"Canceled" I fucken fell out lmao 😂
I’m not from the United States and I didn’t even know this was such a huge problem
After she did the make up, she did not mock the face, other than doing EXACTLY what they guy did which is not racist. People would rather find things like that to call racist rather than people actually being racist in life. Smh.
I'm not from the US and I think it's perfectly fine what she does. It's all a matter of intention and perception.
My perception is she didn't mean anything bad with it. It was her intention to show off make up skills, including a popular guy. Thats it. No need to be offended.
Following up: I can understand why things can be sensitive, but some people who are offended by EVERYTHING need to learn some level of self-mockery.
And for those interested I'd like to add a youtube search assignment: "I was offended - steve hughes (linkto him in description)" (first hit)
She isnt doing any of this to be offensive, and I’m sure if u asked the guy if he was offended he’d say he’ll naw
Not offensive at all.
people dont know the word “Cosplaying”
In colombia it wouldn''t matter, we basically have a day called whites and blacks day on which everyone paints the others' faces with black and white paint 🤷🏾♂️
Awesome job. That's some Hollywood makeup skills.
Anything that even remotely involves race or gender is offensive to someone in the US
If she just put dark foundation on maybe it would be more offensive but she put effort into actually looking like the person. It's not that deep. She did a good job.
The US is offended by everything. Very soon eating an apple will be offensive...
Context? It's more like cosplay. Didn't come off as her mocking his race
But then again, it's totally valid if someone black feels offended due to the history of blackface.
I only heard of black face after moving yo US so I never knew.
People talk about equality and that there should be no racism (I agree), but if you really want that why should something like this be taboo?
People who find this offensive should not look at what we've been up to in the Netherlands, they'd lose their minds.
I'm talking about black pete (childrens character) by the way.
Blackface was offensive because the people who did it were trying to mock black people. This is not blackface, it was meant to mimic a specific person as a veneration to that person.
I’ll defend her, it was makeup to portray a black person. It worked
In southern Germany, this whole discussion turned into two main groups. Those, who hate every foreigner and those who are offended when someone is even mentioning a skin color im puplic. "What you called him a black guy? You racist" .
And a few who don't see the problem about black people being black and white people being white. You don't get to choose before you are born.
And that woman ist truly talented!
?? Dumb
Not only in the south of Germany..that discussion follow me everywhere 🤣
One day somebody got pissed and called me a racist because I called my boyfriend "arab" and my boyfriend himself laughed and told them "I call myself arab, my friends call themselves arab and i dont mind if she or someone else call me arab"
This people are the true Problem here
Nahh most of germans are racist especially when the person involved are asian and black
She’s not making fun of him so…
Bro, how even the f**k is that offensive, like, that’s just amazing makeup skills right here
dear americans not everyone in this world revolves around your narative.
I dont see anything wrong with either the creators? its just a funny guy and a talented artist ._.
Seriously laughed hard when the canceled hit the screen
Anyone offended by what she did.. Is the the real problem.
💯💯💯 she's not mocking him
Blackfacing? That doesn't even exist in Europe.
The fact ppl say america is super racist is beyond me. Such a diverse country. History is bad yes but living in the past also is
Skin color doesn't really matter to me. It's just a color.
Intent and context matter and it is amazing how this gets lost in the conversation about anything ever in these times
"You'll get away with one thing but might be in trouble for something else"

I dont understand why people are so offended by things like these. Its like the affair, how a white person voice-acted a black character in The Simpsons for years and then people started sending hin literal death threats because "how dare he."
Cmon. Art is art. Entertainment. Why must people bring race into everything.
If y’all say she’s cancelled for this I stg
Cancelled Lolzz. Ray you the man bro. Good positive point also to tackle this is powerful bless you ray
That cancel jokes got me 😂🤣😭🤣
When Americans realise the rest of the world are doing their own thing instead of following America
She was also the same person who got attacked from trying to do a Kobe makeup, ppl are saying to make the Kobe white??? like??? If it’s white it ain’t Kobe no more😟
RIP Ray William Johnson, cancelled for defending a makeup artist for their talent
If you are offended with just this, You need some help. So sensitive so insecure.
That isn't even blackface lol
I don't personally see anything wrong here because she was trying to look like one specific person, so details are very important.
I’m black and honestly I just say that she did a good job at the makeup it wasn’t racist in any type of way from what I see
I'm a black man and she did a pretty good job she looks like my brother lol
I don't think she was doing that with cruel intentions..i think she was just making a tic toc.not everybody in this world have cruel intentions..
In Poland is a show which can be translated as your face sounds familiar. Show is a competition between musicians which have to sing and look like one of the most popular musicians. There was a lot of blackfacing
Context. If you do it to be shitty to people its a shitty thing to do. Thats not her goal here.
Oml liiiterally. "Im just adding perspective" then boom canceled. Like omg this fucking generation is soo sensitive
One simple word is all you need. Context.
Honestly I'm more in awe than outraged. Paint and makeup can do some crazy stuff.
This isnt really blackface tbh
There's nothing offensive about this whatsoever. She put on makeup to look like him for a meme, what are we just going to say he's not black?
I am black and i am not offended maybe because i am in Europe
She wanted to be funny and cool
So she chose a really funny and cool person
Americans feel the need to get offended by everything
I appreciated the perspectives. My jaw was dropped until I was reminded America isn't the world
I’m not offended. Plus I’m white so that obviously means I have no opinion on racial matters. It blows my mind how many people get offended over shit that doesn’t pertain to them, “ but I’m black so it does” no no it doesn’t, but you can try and make it about you.
We should all start realizing when things are negatively and positively motivated. A great example of it being positively motivated is this video right here
How tf is that racist
This reminds me of a Pokemon Card that was produced in the late 90s. I think it was Koga's ninja trick or something. Anyway, it had a Swastika on it. It was edited for the international release, but the Japanese versions still had the swastika. People were outraged over it, but you have to look at the Japanese perspective. In Buddhist Culture, what we call a Swastika actually means peace and good fortune. Yet people outside of Japan will always get butthurt.
It's all about perspective people
It's not offensive! She's not trying to make fun of him or insult his skin color, she's simply making a makeup look that looks like him bc she enjoys his content! It's like fanart but in makeup form :)
USA is so sensitive
