Green is the new blackface.

Two teens who were booted from an exclusive California Catholic school over a "blackface" photo are suing the school for $20 million — claiming they were actually wearing acne treatment masks.

The former students, identified only as H.H. and A.H., accuse St. Francis High School in Mountain View of overreacting to the "innocent" selfie and "scapegoating" the teens amid racial tensions in the wake of George Floyd’s police custody death, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
According to the lawsuit, the photo of the two boys and a friend was taken in 2017 when they were just 14 — and was an attempt by two of the boys to show solidarity with the third, who suffered from bad adolescent acne.

All three teens snapped themselves with acne masks, the suit says. The treatment mask, bought by A.H.’s mother, was light green when applied and turned dark green after drying.
The following day, St. Francis Principal called H.H.’s parents, telling them the photo "isn’t about intent. It’s about optics," according to the lawsuit.
