I know there's a history of racism with blackface and it has a negative connotation but I don't see why it's so bad when it's not being used in that way. Clearly they aren't poking fun at black people here, they're just trying to be artistic. As an asian person, I never complain when they make a white model look more Asian by slanting her eyes or giving her that stereotypical blunt Asian bob haircut. I'm prob gonna get attacked for this but it's just my opinion. I think people need to move past this as long as it's not being racist.
