Ha I remember when wearing a polo shirt, having a haircut like that and being really tan was a huge thing when I was in high school. A lot of the cool guys where doing it. I also remember spending a lot of time being suspended both in and out of school due to all the fights I got into with guys like that.

The guy in the picture probably decided the tan oil didn't make him tan enough and then laid in a tanning bed.

I would say it is just a poor choice of skin color “blackface” or whatever. I don’t think it’s immediately racist and I don’t think that he should get in trouble for it. But if he is out there trying to make fun of black people or anybody for the matter I think it will make him look bad.

I don't know when this photo was taken. But it reminds me of a professional bodybuilder in the 90s. Their fake tan was just part of the aesthetic in the bodybuilding world back then. If my judgement on the context is correct or similar to the truth, I don't believe this man intended to seem racist.

If it's just a bad tan, no.. If he's doing a blackface in purpose, to make fun of black people, then yes

[MCheetah]

No. Blackface isn't automatically "racist." It's just poor taste and tacky, perhaps. But not "racist."

[AviatorTom]

Maybe... could be just a horrible tan.

Many people consider blackface to be unacceptable in today's world. It wasn't in the past.

[WowwGirl]

It's still okay some places

[wankiam]

no... its some prick who overdid the spray tan. funny more than anything.

[jshm2]

Depends if the guy is blackening up for the pic, or is actually Black.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I think that's just one of the worst tans I've ever seen

[The_Maphio]

It's stupid. Will that shit that he put in his face come off easily?

[IAMNathanael]

Someone just went a little overboard with the tanning spray. I'd say not racism

[Titanic1912]

No it’s not. There’s interracial relationships everywhere. One of my favorite vlogging couples is interracial.

[Texaskid1]

Maybe it's juts a really bad tan? Or maybe that is his natural skin color.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

I clicked yes because the concept of racism in 2021 is a fucking joke.

[OddBeMe]

In a perfect world, context would be all that’s needed. But society says blackface is 100% wrong. So yeah.

[Anonymous]

Pretty sure this is not a bad tan but a black face and yes that’s racist

[SmokinAces2000]

Depends on if he’s wearing black face or if his dumbass just put on too much spray tan

[WowwGirl]

Spray tan I think. So it's funny

[Anonymous]

What’s wrong with blackface anyway? If a black man did white face it would be funny. Time to stop being so serious world!

[Dargil]

I will bet you cannot even define "racist"

[bones_20]

The word I would use for that photo is disturbing.

[Dargil]

"Stupid" works fine.

[Avicenna]

It’s stupid as hell, that’s for sure

[ChefPapiChulo]

what is he a body builder?

[Whatthefluff]

Exactly my thoughts

[Anonymous]
