Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has apologised and says he should have known better after a photo surfaced showing him wearing brownface.
His campaign for national elections has been hit by the publication of the yearbook photo showing him wearing a turban and robe at a party in 2001.
The picture was taken while he was a teacher at the West Point Grey Academy at an Arabian Nights themed gathering and appeared in the private school's yearbook.
The photo obtained by Time Magazine shows the then 29-year-old with other members of the faculty - several are in fancy dress, but Mr Trudeau is the only one who appears to have coloured his skin.
