Published Monday, March 4, 2019 4:56PM ESTALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A television personality for the Mexican-based Televisa network is facing strong criticism after dressing up in "brownface" and wearing a prosthetic nose to make fun of indigenous Mexican actress Yalitza Aparicio.
In the photo, Rosales wore a dress similar to the one Aparicio wore at the Oscars. Rosales also donned a straight, black-haired wig and made exaggerated facial expressions typically used to stereotype indigenous people. Luna said Aparicio has encountered many similar acts in Mexico since garnering praise for her performance in the movie "Roma."
"The Mexican elite disposition has always portrayed indigenous people as funny and ugly," Nericcio said. "Networks like Televisa profit from this."Rosales defended her actions, posted photos of herself in blackface and said she parodies people of all races.
