CANADA. (THECOUNT) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore “brownface” makeup and a turban to a costume party while teaching at a private school in 2001, and now a video has surfaced showing another instance of the offencive makeup.
Trudeau wore the skin-darkening makeup to an “Arabian Nights” gala hosted by the West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver, according to the Time report, and now a video has emerged showing Trudeau’s cosplay was anything but a one-off.

It’s not clear when or where the video was taken, but the video, obtained exclusively by Global News, shows Trudeau covered in what appears to be dark makeup and raising his hands in the air while laughing, sticking his tongue out and making faces. He’s wearing a white T-shirt, and his jeans are ripped at the knees. It appears as though his arms and legs are covered in makeup as well. It does not appear the video was shot at the same time and place of the other photos of Trudeau in racist make-up that have emerged in the past 24 hours.

The photo shows a 29-year-old Trudeau, the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, wearing a white turban and white Arab-style robes while covered in the makeup.
