Arabian Nights

https://abcnews.go.com/International/photo-justin-trudeau-wearing-brownface-2001-party-published/story?id=65707332

This story is similar to many stories I hear nowadays. Its always people in the roles of leadership having to apologize for being racist in the past. This time it included Justin Trudeau and how he wore blackface to a party in 2001. He was 29 at the time and he states, "i should have known better but I didnt".  He colored his skimn a dark brown so he could be Aladin during an Arabian nights themed party.  He also said "i didnt think it was a racist action at the time", that goes to show you that iggnorance is basically making it okay that he did this. A grown man almost being 30 should have an idea like hmm maybe this isnt a good idea. This makes me wonder how many leaders were just ignorant and dint care to know what was racist and not in the past, that doesnt make a very good leader.
