At least in North America, "brownface" typically refers to specifically portraying a person of Latino descent.

See e.g. https://brown-face.com/

Theoretically I suppose the term could be applied to portraying other races such as South Asians, but I've not heard that usage.

It's not hard to find sources that use this in reference to Indians, Arabs, and even Klingons. 70.172.194.25 03:26, 8 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
