It can be very jarring for people who've always lived in a haven of political correctness to find themselves in places that aren't so PC. Or when someone who is non-PC "invades" the haven, like a bull in a china shop.

I have French on both sides. One is from Quebec and the other from Ontario. My grandmother from northern Ontario used to sing a song about China men with short legs. I can't remember how it went though I'm certain it was horribly racist. It may have involved the railroad construction too. Not sure anymore.

It's become controversial of late, but even today it's not some marginal, fringe thing by any stretch.

Although Quebec has had a blackface controversy of its own. More of a "one-off" though.

Definitely mainstream (in the Netherlands), but likely on the road to oblivion, at least wrt people in blackface playing Swarte Piet.

well, c'mon, high efficiency furnaces and zero clearance fireplaces have pretty much made Black Pete's appearance irrelevant.

I believe it's a tiara. Perhaps she's redneck royalty?
