Justin Trudeau brownface: Canada PM apologises after image emerges
Canadian prime minister says he deeply regrets image from 2001 party, which emerges weeks out from election
Justin Trudeau has apologised for wearing brownface makeup to a party when he was a teacher in 2001, saying “it was a racist thing to do”.
A photograph of Trudeau dressed in a turban and robes with brown makeup on his face, neck and hands, was published by Time magazine on Wednesday. It was taken when he was 29, while working as a teacher at West Point Grey Academy.
