My thoughts Justin Trudeau and his brown face party.

Jolanta comments on Sep 22, 2019:

It is just a lot of nonsense. I don't see why there is a problem at all with him having blackened his face for that party. After all what did they expect - a person with a white face dressing up as a black person. What a lot of hot air in a small pan. Nobody would say one word if a black person dressed up as a white and whitened his/her face.

I red the article and I was surprised/baffeled by the Rabbis attitude; “What will eliminate things like this is not being intimidated and expressing our Jewish identity in as many ways as possible,” Backman said. I am not sure that is the way to go at all. What does it mean to express Jewish identity in as many ways as possible? I don't advocate for people to "hide" but then it seems to me like the Rabbi is wanting to somehow make the whole problem bigger?
