She was just paying tribute to the greatest television comedy of all time. And it backfired, horribly. |
You know that racists don't need to try. It comes naturally to them because they see it as innocent fun. Only the angry ones do aggressive things to get a rise out of people.
FYI most whites aren't that pale including Paula and her son. Lucy was just really fair in comparison because she was a ginger. In fact, the son's natural color is like Desi's. We know why they chose to do that chocolate face. If he were his natural color, it wouldn't be funny. It would be "normal." But mocking brown people is funny.

So it would only be racist if Desi Arnaz was black?
And that's not a fake tan. That's brown paint when Desi was the same color as her son. It was obviously some attempt to be funny.
