Controversy

The show's use of blackface was criticized in the media [4] and by foreign academics. [5] [6] [7] Axel Honneth professor of philosophy at both the University of Frankfurt and Columbia University stated that the show "presents the stereotypical theme of poverty being ascribed with skin colour", [8] while Dr. Elaine Marie Carbonell Laforteza, Lecturer in Cultural Studies Macquarie University, Australia, stated in her book The Somatechnics of Whiteness and Race: Colonialism and Mestiza Privilege, that "Nita does not appear 'authentically black', but painted as black. The effect is a caricature of blackness" and that "blackness is used to create Nita as a manifestation of black identity that is constantly open to scrutiny and mockery". [9]
