1) Because the Chinese male actor used stereotypes of people to pretend to be of a certain race because they misinterpret the characteristics of people of different races.

2) It is assumed that Indians have dark skin, but some of them don't have dark skin.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The government is unhappy about the rap video as they had the police to investigate the rap video for "offensive content".

2. It is inappropriate because it included profanity targeted at the Chinese community. They mimic the darkened skin of another race. This leads to conflicting views on values, beliefs, practices and perspectives.

1. The public felt that it was prejudice to hire only a Chinese man instead of many other races. "The main grievance was that the advertisement campaign went to the extent of inventing characters to represent Singapore's minorities instead of simply hiring actors from the minority racial groups to portray them.

2. The ad is assuming that certain races have specific skin colour although its not true and the ad is stereotypical.

Q2 An actor, portraying an Indian character, had his skin artificially darkened

1. steorotyping people from other races not everyone from a particular race looks like what was portrayed in the advertisement

2. Brownface portrays someone as a different race, using skin tone as a form of costume.

1. The government reacted by having the police to investigate the online rap video for "offensive content".

2. No. Singapore is a multi-racial country and people may be sensitive towards what others say about their race. "The video included profanity targeted at the Chinese community." People may view each other differently and there would be more conflicts with each other.

q1: the religious leader understood why minorities would be affected and could sympathise with them, but he felt that there was a better way to express their negative comments in a receptive way.

q2: The ad was inappropriate as they had one person covering all races which can offend the people of the actual race.

1) he reacted poorly to it as he found it unnecessary and counterproductive

2) it could unnecessarily cause arguments and disagreements between races which could lead to unhappiness or even riots

he reacted calmly towards the problem. instead of lashing out on it and saying how terrible it was, he said how he understood that it affects the minority

the rap video is inappropriate as there are other ways to address the problem instead of making it seem like a joke. making a rap video out of it made it seem like the ones who produced and published the video are not serious about the problem and instead made a joke out of it. some impacts that could arise out of it is that this could lead more people who watches the video to take it as a lighthearted joke as well

the religious leader reacted negatively to the advertisement and explained how the situation should be dealt with.

the video is inappropriate because it shows a Chinese guy colouring his skin darker to match different races.

Q1: The advertisement provoked strong reactions from the public because it was considered racially insensitive. This is because the advertisement used a character played by a Chinese man that was artificial and had darkened skin features to portray as a member of the minority race instead of hiring an actual actors of minority races to portray the characters.

Q2: The brownface controversy is the purposeful darkening of skin to portray minority racial groups.

1. The government responded negatively to the rap video. The minister Shanmugan noted that if the rap video creators were not happy with the advertisement, they could have done other things like asking for an apology/filing a police report instead of just making a vulgar video that is very offensive to express ones thoughts on a particular matter they do not agree with, and that what the rap video creator was wrong and too far.

2. i do not think the rap video in response to the nets e- pay advertise was appropriate. the rap video consisted of many vulgarities and though it was not physically harmful to anyone, but even through the screen pointing gestures, or just verbally saying these words can hurt many people's feelings. audiences of the rap video would definitely feel insulted as they would feel that their borderlines are crossed and such a small issue should not result to an insulting response. instead people should talk thing out maturely to protect the respect of the opposing person.

1. The government did not support so they asked the police to investigate

2. No because the video targeted the Chinese community

1) Because it was very offensive. The Chinese actor was dressing as people from other races, instead of hiring other people of different races to be in the advertisement. This is shown in the source, "The advertisement campaign went to the extent of inventing characters to represent Singapore's minorities instead of simply hiring actors from the minority racial groups to portray them."

2) The actor's skin tone was artificially darkened to portray the Indian character in the advertisement.

# data[].attributes.body
1)the government responded sincerely that insulting another race with vulgarities and middle finger is very rude and unacceptable. The victims will then need to know whether the situation is severe enough to write a police report

2) The rap video is not acceptable as it made many insults to different races which cause minorities to be angry. The victims will feel very insulted but they should keep calm and respond calmly to prevent a heated argument

# data[].attributes.body
1) the government reacted positively towards the victims getting made fun of in the rap as they took action by investigating the case.

2) No. it could hurt other peoples feelings and he could've took other approaches to convey his message nicely
