I think there's a difference between homage and an offensive parody/caricature
And there is a strong history behind blackface.
So any time that it's done, side eyes will emerge immediately, regardless of intent.
Beyonce is a black woman who did blackface and still received backlash, since she's lightskindedededededed.
It's a really hurtful history behind those types of images; anyone who dares to do it better tread very lightly.
Whiteface on the other hand -- where is the joke in it? Where's the shade? Whites are regarded as a superior race in this country, and many others as well. We have people putting on permanent whitefaces every day with these damn bleaching creams and mess. And blond fucking wigs, and those tacky looking colored contacts.
It's fucking disgusting tbh. So Tyra's shoot was nothing more than an extension of the homage that we pay white people every fucking day.
