Oh boy,An Affair – Young Stepmother (2019) what was Mediacorp thinking?
In an episode of the Singapore national broadcaster's web drama I Want To Be A Star, an actor was put in blackface with an afro wig for comic effect.
The script also reportedly contained numerous racial slurs. For example, the plot involved a casting director searching for an African actor, to which a character suggested hiring an Indian actor instead, because "they're all the same."
Eventually, another character, played by Chinese actor Shane Pow, was made to stand in for the African actor with black face paint and an afro wig.

Twitter users have slammed Mediacorp for the episode, which has been available online for nearly a month.
