RE: commenting on the article don’t whitewash blackface prank
As I see in the picture, the girls are dressed up like domestic workers and covered their skin with a black cream. They seem to be contented with what they have done and don’t feel ashamed.

I think the idea of the students getting judged is a very good one because they will then learn why it is very wrong and stop mocking the domestic workers. They will learn how to act wisely and think sensibly and take each action
