Very own [27M] sweetheart [25F] seemed to be accused of doing blackface by a friend of ours and it’s really caused a massive rift in the friend group
So , my fiancee of two years, “Lana”, can be quite into fashion. She' ings asian and naturally light-skinned, but she loves suntanning and her signature take a look is this very deep khaki that she always keeps back up. It' s this type of thing, for reference. She constantly maintains this look, and has while before we met.
An associate of mine, “Joe” is generally into making costume components and props for cosplay, and has made several outfits for himself over the years. Following he helped me with a Halloween outfit this past year, Lana got serious about cosplaying and wanted to start working with him to make a outfit for her to wear at a native con this summer. Joe agreed, and the two started collaborating, but something came way up when we mentioned it while hanging out with many others.
Another friend of ours, “Kate”, went on issue when we mentioned exactly what character Lana was going to cosplay. This is a character Lana actually loves, and is a favorite from hers. However , the character can be dark-skinned. Because of Lana' t tan, Kate (who is without question black) said her muck as that character is a lot like doing blackface. She said her tanning and using of which to look like a dark-skinned character is actually offensive and she was stunned we didn' t can see a problem with it. Lana ended up being getting upset and we kept, but Kate later messaged me and the and said to talk to Lana and Java and talk them outside of making the costume. I turned down, not wanting to do that as I discover how important this project could be to Lana and how excited the woman with to do it. I also told her the fact that Lana isn' t attempting to emulate or mock people who have dark skin, she' ersus just taking advantage of her chocolate that she' s experienced for years for the costume. Kate just replied “I imagined you were better than this” and also hasn' t spoken in my experience since. Our friend organisation is kind of split for the issue, and I' m honestly second-guessing my final decision to back her way up now. We haven' testosterone hung out as a group during like 3 weeks now, which can be pretty abnormal for us.
Do i need to have tried to get Gre?as to see Kate' s aspect more? She' s not originally from the US which means might not understand some cultural issues, but as a bright guy I also am admittedly not an expert on the subject both and genuinely didn' capital t see anything wrong with it before. Any advice can be appreciated, I' m unsure what to do here. If I need to talk her out of it, how to approach things? Is there any way we can resolve the disagreement, and if so , what method should we go about doing so?
TL; DR: Girlfriend boasts a tan and wants to cosplay a dark-skinned character, pal of ours said your own was doing blackface and additionally I' m not sure how one can smooth things over, whenever that' s even conceivable
