Blackface in your nation

Postby Mikanjima » Mon Oct 03, 2016 4:25 am

In Mikanjima, they are considered as racist imagery and is considered as illegal and against the law. It is punishable by a minimum of 5 years prison sentence and heavy fines.

We are nation where Black Lives truly Matter. And we find disgusting crap like blackface/yellowface extremely insulting, offensive, and hurtful.

It isn't illegal, but socially it is looked down upon. And you may start having your personal life invaded by state security to find out if you have any ties to radical antirevolutionary groups

It is shown as a disgrace to show that, even in public. If anyone noticed, they are encouraged to shout it out to let the authorities know. Then they would most likely beat the man/woman for racist actions.

We have freedom of speech so obviously allowed.
As much as black comedians impersonating stereotypical white voices/characters, for that matter.

Why? Because the legislators are not 12 year old girls. Maturity necessarily excludes prima donas.

Blackface is a makeup pattern that is only offensive to america and those that share in its cultural context. If you went to a random African village with your face painted black you would not insult anyone. So knowing that and given the fact that Purpelia does not share anything with america and is essentially 100% white the whole thing is not seen as negative in any way, shape or form.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

"Brownface" and "yellowface" are considered weird socially awkward things to do, since it implies that your race matters enough to do so, which is weird to Ashkerans.

On the other hand there are some religious dances where some dancers are painted black (not brown, actual black) to represent the demons of the Fifth Plane. This dance is also performed by the dark-skinned Eastlanders and the small forcibly-assimilated population of light-skinned British. Other dancers are painted white (as in the color) to represent the angels opposed to humanity.

(The dark skin color of the Eastlanders was thought to have some possible spiritual significance until the year 890, when explorers for the Third Empire determined skin pigmentation almost perfectly tracked distance from the equator. This was considered a major scientific finding at the time.)

This has caused internet blowups/twitstorms on Tumblr due to Americans trying to copy-paste America's fked race relations onto Ashkera.

Nobody really cares. While it would be difficult to find a compelling reason why any Sidh would want to disguise himself as a negro, seeing how genuine ones are usually available in the human ghettos along with every other variety of human, no law or social convention is stopping one should one deem it necessary.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

This concept is totally unknown to the Montesardi. In Borealias, the colour of your skin never was a subject of discrimination. However, the existence of jackals (jackal eared people), nekos and wolflings have had racial tensions in the past. The Montesardi, being based on the merchant culture of the Trotsbeleden, are very tolerant of races. The only social divisions that exists are economic and academic.
