Common thing in India.

Sit a person on a donkey with a blacked face
iT

It's a common experssion in India and Pakistan, but not a "Hindu thing"

I made a video on the topic:


Lord krishna and Kali Maa are dark skinned...in some references even "black"
sooo, making such comments wuld be racially profiling (towards them)

This sickening term originated elsewhere, took root into Indian society.

In this video we discuss "face blackening" & few historical facts.

As the newspaper noted a few months later in a case from Sind involving a “gentleman thief,” this was an old Indian mode of punishment, with the added detail that the parading was usually done with the person facing backwards on a donkey.

The topic came up i my recommendations I'm surprised I missed this one

Me too, I always found it strange hearing that expression when many gods or goddesses are depicted dark skinned. It never made any sense.

Say if you live in Africa, they would hardly use such phrases

My guess is, the term was invented by a white man or someone very very light skinned
