A Tennesee Opera Company Is Putting On An Entire Show In Yellowface
Knoxville Opera of Tennessee is gearing up for their new show Madame Butterfly. With the entire non-Asian cast sporting makeup intended to make their eyes look stereotypically "Asian," as well as dressing in costumes mirroring traditional Japanese clothing, the show is drawing complaints of yellowface, exoticization of Asian culture, and cultural appropriation. Currently, the company has not yet responded to any of the complaints on its Facebook page.
