Important context: the comedy sketch was produced 20 years ago and ignores Torres' struggles for diversity and inclusion in Brazil after this. In addition, Gascon did the same thing and don't have any comments from NYP journal. Source [PT-BR only]: [Link]

NNN - Blackface is already considered racism in Brazil. The notes did not follow the principle of impartiality, and the post only said that Fernanda apologized for the blackface, without going into the merits of whether it is racist in Brazil or not. Source (PT-BR): [Link]

Important context: blackface as racism is rooted in U.S. minstrel shows, is “a specific practice limited to American culture”. In Brazil, it is often stemmed from ignorance, with no intent to mock. Foreigners, like Fernanda, shouldn’t automatically be labeled as racist for it. [Link]

This is a similar situation of when Nelson Piquet called Hamilton of “Neguinho”, a common word in Portuguese often translated to little guy with no racist connotation but that can also be translated to “nigger” that has racist connotation only in the US. [Link]

The sketch mentioned was aired in the early 2000's. Even though racism was already an issue in Brazil, "blackface" only started to be seen as a problem on the Brazilian mainstream media circa 2015, with the advent of social media - which brought attention to this topic. [Link]

The discussion about "Blackface" in Brazil is recent (2015). Far-right radicals, sympathizers of Bolsonaro, brought up this scene to harm her because she is left-wing and took a stand against their leader, who advocated beating up gays. Don't stoop to their level. [Link]

NNN - Although Brazil does not have the same history as the US with respect to blackface, pretending to be black for comedy is always racist. Torres apologized and the news article is not incorrect or misleading. [Link]
