I mean let’s be real minstrel shows are explicitly a western concept. Go down another comment and I addressed the UK as well, but really that’s going to apply anywhere Americans were during WW2 as well.

The whole idea of minstrel shows was to mock africans. Seeing a white guy in blackface is not equivalent to seeing a black person.

What the fuck are you talking about?
My whole point was by 1950 most white people had seen a black person and that their only idea wasn’t a minstrel show

What makes you think “most white people” in Europe had seen a real black person in 1950?
