I'm not sure.

I mean, ganguro literally means "black face" but...isn't this very close to the old black & white mistrels? Or am I being silly? :P

It's stupid, for sure... and yeah, it probably is racist. Racism is now so convoluted it's a laughing matter. Call it racist and I'll say I don't care.

Racism

- The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

I don't know what to think anymore. I'm pretty sure that "girl" in the green is a guy.

Maybe in it's original form but not any more, now it's just a fasion. I'm surprised it's spreading now when it's been around so long...
