Another reveller also went in head-to-toe blackface and donned a cane, pretending to be blind African American singer Stevie Wonder
‘You’re very very very ugly for this!,’ one person commented.
‘This has got to be a fu**king joke right?,’ said another.
‘There’s cultural appropriation then there’s plain disrespect. What the f**k do you think ur doing,’ another outraged Instagram user wrote.
Others took the opportunity to educate the woman about why blackface is racist.
‘Historically it was used by racist whites to distort black features and mock their character, identity and looks. What you are doing is disgusting,’ a woman wrote.
‘This is so f**king wrong,’ said another.
‘Blackface is so offensive. Our skin colour is not a costume you can put on and take off whenever you please.’
But others found the questionable costume to be humourous, and applauded the woman for the ‘hilarious’ get-up.
Another reveller also went in head-to-toe blackface and donned a cane, pretending to be blind African American singer Stevie Wonder.
