Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, has always stood out among leaders in the rest of the world for having a culture of diversity and equity. However, a few days ago, TIME magazine released some photos from his youth where he can be seen with his face and hands painted black, an act criticized and identified as racist. After the publication of the photographs, the president said he was "deeply sorry." In one of the images he appears enjoying a theme party, smiling, dressed in oriental clothing and a turban on his head. Trudeau, who was 29 at the time, is the only one in the photo with darkened skin. In another image he is seen wearing ripped pants and also with his face painted. In response to questions from the press, the prime minister explained that in 2001 he posed dressed as Aladdin during a party based on One Thousand and One Nights at the prestigious West Point Gray private school in Vancouver, where he worked as a teacher. « I shouldn't have done it. "I should have known it wasn't appropriate, but I did it and I'm really sorry," Trudeau declared.
Furthermore, he stressed that at the time he did not consider it a racist act. The photograph appears in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Gray Academy, a private school where Trudeau was a teacher. In early September TIME obtained a copy of The View yearbook, featuring Trudeau's brown photo alongside Vancouver Argentina Mobile Number List businessman Michael Adamson, who was also part of the West Point Gray Academy community. Adamson was not at the party attended by school teachers, administrators and parents of students. She mentioned that she first saw the photograph in July and felt it should be made public. Trudeau also acknowledged in front of reporters that this was not the only time he dressed up and "made up" as a black person. When I was in high school I dressed up in a performance where I sang 'Day-O' with makeup, he said. Reactions Trudeau intends to be re-elected as Prime Minister of Canada.
And after the revelation of the images, the president has not declared anything about the resignation proposals of several candidates on his work team, a consequence of the same event. The whole situation adds to the exposure of old messages on their social networks where they denote racist inclinations. When asked if he should resign as Liberal leader after learning of this situation, Trudeau responded: “There are people who make mistakes in this life and you make decisions based on what you really do, what you did and case by case. "I deeply regret having done so." For his part, Andrew Scheer, leader of the conservative opposition in Canada, considered the image racist in 2001 and it is now. What Canadians have seen is someone with a complete lack of judgment and integrity, and someone who is unfit to govern this country, Scheer said. New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh said the image was worrying and insulting.
