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 · Answer

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

AviatorTom · Answer

Maybe... could be just a horrible tan. Many people consider blackface to be unacceptable in today's world. It wasn't in the past.

wankiam · Answer

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

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

The_Maphio · Answer

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

IAMNathanael · Answer

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

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

Texaskid1 · Answer

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

FýrdracaDócincel · Answer

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

OddBeMe · Answer

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

Anonymous · Answer

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

SmokinAces2000 · Answer

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

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