Noooooo. I googled. I know him. He plays Roy Harper on my show "ARROW."
Roy, how could you? I won't let this affect my fandom for the superhero series, though.



Caucasians, what is so hard understand? Two things you never should do: Say the n word,
or do blackface (paint yourself brown to represent an African American). Why do
Caucasians keep making the same ridiculous missteps over and over?

So? If a black person imitated a white person, wouldn't they wear a wig? Then by your logic, wouldn't that be racist? Or if a white person wanted to imitate an Asian, they can't dye their hair black?

Yes they can. Because they're not dying their SKIN. Do you think Asian people are the only people on the planet who have black hair? My god you sound stupid as hell.

Not racist, just ignorant and inconsiderate.

You can tell he is perpetuating a black stereotype with his look, the gold chain, the grill....

Basically. Can't believe this is flying over peoples' heads.

No, that's white superiority.

You probably should not try to define a centuries old civil issue using some definition you found on a search engine that didn't even exist 15 years ago.

No, that's the Oxford Dictionary definition:

noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another

adjective
having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another

The absolute tea.

You should really visit Belgium or The Netherlands on the 6th December, if you think this is racist.

Please look up the history of Blackface.

It's about context. Jesus... yes during that period of history blackface was a huge problem.

But let's move forward a few decades, the guilt tripping has to stop. There was some ad put up in Thailand ages ago where the model had her face smeared in black paint, and people were outraged, the ad had to be taken down - I'm sorry that's not racist. Blackface was dealt with half a century ago. A good chunk of our generation probably don't even know about it... (not saying that's a good thing but still, it shows the stigma surrounding it has died out)

A white dude slapping on makeup and pretending to be Ghandi is as racist as an african american putting on a blonde wig and dressing up as Scarlet Johnson.

It all comes down to whether or not he's being derogatory about it...

Stunning

He's dressed as Kanye West and Gandhi. If he was a racist, he wouldn't be doing that would he?

[i spit on haters]

I don't think he's racist, but, just really ignorant. Aren't these photos old? Colton always struck me as a douche, anyway.

You people..... Blackface is OFFENSIVE to any black person in the world regarding this situation.

Colton Haynes is a WHITE american mocking BLACK people KNOWING the history of here. It was intended to be racist. It doesn't matter if you're from the uk, asia, russia whatever. This is offensive considering the origin of it started in AMERICA.

[JClarkSTAN]

This is so old. I think he's since apologized for this though.

It was very ignorant though and its sad that more people don't understand how this can be seen as racist. People should actually educate themselves on the history of blackface before spouting out what they think is actually racist and what isnt.

[Dream]

@ the people in this thread trying to defend him.

Colton is a ****ing idiot. And yes, blackface is racist.

No I don't, but basically all East Asians at least have black or dark brown hair. That's a fact And yes I'm aware black people, some white, some hispanic, some Arabic, etc. have black hair. How does that matter? It was just an example

So, hair is another distinctive attribute just like hair. I'm not trying to argue, but I just don't understand how it's racist

[AVINERISMAEL]

IM SORRY BUT **** THIS ****er doesnt even compare to the impact ghandi had that plain disrespectful abit funny but sooooooooooooo disrepectful GHANDI IS my idol and ugh i dont even know this kid and i wanna slap him.
