canadian prime minister justin trudeau is apologizing after a photo surfaced of him wearing brown face during a schooley vept in 2001. it happened while he was a teacher. he attended a arabian knights party as a character from aladdin. he was wearing a turban. this comes in the midst of a tough re-election campaign for trudeau. we re covering the story. one of the points that you ve made and that i certainly thought interviewing trudeau six months ago or so, so much of what he has run on has been based on inclusion and diversity. you re so right, poppy. i remember the answer he gave you about being a feminist. he was champion of rights.
apologized very quickly after this picture surfaced. let s watch, and then we ll talk about it. in 2001, when i was a teacher out in vancouver, i attended an end of year gala where the theme was arabian knights, and i dressed up in an aladdin costume and put makeup on. i shouldn t have done that. i should have known better, but i didn t, and i m really sorry. i take responsibility for my decision to do that. i shouldn t have done it. i should have known better. it was something that i didn t think was racist at the time, but now i recognize it was something racist to do, and i am deeply sorry. wow, a leader apologizing. it seems odd, doesn t it? i mean because we have one who doesn t. but he says he didn t think it was racist at the time. now he knows better. what do you think of that?
