"American comedian Druski has gone viral with a short parody video titled “How
Conservative Women in America Act”.
In it, Druski plays a character whose costumes, make-up and activities all
resemble those of right-wing activist Erika Kirk, widow of former Turning Point
CEO Charlie Kirk – whose role she has taken up.
Conservatives are up in arms, predictably. Many are calling it racism or
reverse racism. Imagine, they declare, how fast a white man would be cancelled
if he were to don blackface to send up the activities of an African American
widow.
But this backlash misses the point. Blackface and whiteface are not opposite
and equal."
