Ministry of Public Security posts a short road-safety video featuring Chinese men in blackface and wearing turbans to depict Indians
Garnering over 190,000 views in its first two days on Weibo, the video is considered racist and disparaging of Indian culture by some
Posted by the ministry on Saturday, the one-minute clip features a Chinese parodist called Brother Hao on a stationary motorbike; he is wearing a turban and his face is made up heavily with blackface while he imitates Indian dance moves from the 1990s.
In the video, two other Chinese men – also wearing blackface – join Brother Hao on the bike and the group invites three fair-skinned women sitting in the rear of a car for a ride. The women wear blue sequin dresses typically worn by female dancers in Bollywood movies.

However, the video appeared not to have struck most Chinese netizens as problematic.
“It’s so magical, I watched it several times”, said one Weibo user, while others posted emojis faces with tears of joy. Another user commented: “laughed to death”.
JFL at that "soft power" comment. Imagine if whites wearing blackface defended it like that. Also love the completely casual linking of fair skin with beauty and dark skin with clownishness, absolutely brutal for Indians.Some Chinese users took to Twitter to defend the video. They said the song, “Tunak Tunak Tun” from the 1990s, was “monumentally” popular in China and an example of “Indian soft power”.
However, one user contended that only the men in the video wore blackface because “Indian men are regarded as clowns in China but Indian women are regarded as beauties”.
