This year’s Eurovision winner was Israel’s act, Netta Barzilai.
Barzilai won with with her performance of the song "Toy" and next year’s Eurovision will be taking place in Israel.
We have a winner! 🏆🇮🇱🎵 SO PROUD of our @NettaBarzilai, the winner of tonight's #Eurovision Congratulations from Israel to ALL talented performers! See you all next year in #Eurovision2019... in Israel! https://t.co/EItHfXIxfQ
Whilst Israel got the most votes, people have accused the performance of appropriating Asian culture
ME @ EVERY WHITE WOMAN CELEBRATING ISRAEL’S WIN THAT PERFORMANCE WAS SUPER RACIST SHE HAS LITERALLY STYLED HER MAKEUP TO MAKE HERSELF LOOK ASIAN
Why do I feel like this stage is quite racist ? #Eurovision
everyone loves eurovision, the elaborate camp spectacle *5 minutes later* we regret to inform you the eurovision national juries fucking love racism
Are we not gonna talk about the Asian cultural appropriation in Israel's entry #Eurovision2018
Actor Jassa Ahluwalia said "Holy $?#!, yellowface?!".
Late to the party. Holy $?#!, yellowface?! #Eurovision
Following heated discussion as to whether or not #Israel’s #Eurovision entry was racist, we’ve decided to give Israel the benefit of the doubt and assume they were being racist
People are highly disappointed.
So a country that is not even from Europe wins with a song that is noting but a joke and a performance full of cultural appropriation..... Wtf is this event? #Eurovision https://t.co/ImyxArOZ6o
is nobody else noticing that this is really uncomfortable and problematic or is everyone just too drunk at this point #Eurovision https://t.co/rhlks9zGcw
#eurovision Japans culture is NOT your eurovision entry
#Eurovision. Where it isn't ok to be Asian but it is ok to pretend to be. smh
