A family of YouTube stars are facing a campaign to have their videos removed from the platform after one woman wore blackface and acted "ghetto."
In a video posted last week, Bianca Prince explains that she is playing a "prank" on her husband by wearing a blackface disguise.
"I am about to look like a literally different person," she says in the video. "I'm about to be a ghetto girl. I've got to learn how to talk."
"I already look different," Prince says as her makeup artist applies a dark liquid to her face.
Twitter users mounted a campaign to have the Prince family removed from YouTube for violating its standards on hate speech.
Watch the video and read some of the tweets below.
In what world is blackface funny? The Prince Family’s video needs to be removed. This is ignorant in so many levels. Then she had the audacity to act “ghetto“ pic.twitter.com/xN2qXgndav

It saddens me that majority of their fan base are kids. This is what they’re watching. They’ll think blackface is okay, and that black women (dark skinned) are ghetto. You know, just the stereotype
