Big Brother contestant Paul Abrahamian shocked and angered fans when he announced on the show that he was planning on dressing in “blackface” to pull a prank on fellow contestant Dominique, a woman of color, later changing the name of his plan to “black mask.”
Abrahamian told other contestants he wanted to dress up in dark clothes to resemble a snake, but the Internet quickly saw through his scheme and called him out for blackface.
