Running out of groups to offend; Trudeau sets sights on Oompa Loompa community

Ottawa, ON — Not content with offending every dark skinned ethnic group on earth, Canadian prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking aim at a fictional cohort of face painted dwarves. 

After the third photo in twenty four hours emerged of Trudeau in black or brown face, the youthful PM has promised to take his widely panned shtick to the Oompa Loompas. 

The PM, once lauded as a heart throb, thinks we have his motives all wrong. 

"What you view as appropriation, I view as emulation," said Trudeau. "If you want to  truly understand someone you've got to spend a few hours under their skin. Or at least wear their precise hue of pigmentation."

"And why leave cultural emulation to the real world?' The PM continued. "The Oompa Loompa people are a powerful metaphor for any group raised in captivity forced to swim in a chocolate river."

More to come.
