CNN —
An ethnically Chinese actor who allegedly darkened his skin to portray characters of different races in an advertisement has sparked a “brownface” controversy in multi-ethnic Singapore.
Part of a government initiative to promote electronic payments, the ad features actor Dennis Chew, from the city state broadcaster Mediacorp, dressed as four characters, including what appears to be a Malay woman wearing a headscarf.
It has since been taken down.

bro, telling the truth here. When I read your thread title and before clicking on it, the name Black and White Minstrel show crossed my mind. And I was right!
It was a very high quality TV program and the performers were very talented and classy. I have fond memories of it and remembered it being shown on Saturday evenings around 8pm. Banning it was a travesty.
