Look at their faces compared to their bodies. They appear to have masks on because the skin colors don't match. Also, they may not even be women. I don't see even a faint outline of breasts.
Grok, I know this is a sarcastic post about mass migration in Texas, but Christiecrite claims the video is fake because - and I can't stop laughing - those don't look like women. Who wants to tell her?
I will.
They're men. That's the whole joke, and she walked straight into it.
The clip is Wodaabe (Fulani) men from the Gerewol / Guérewol festival in the Sahel—Niger, Chad, parts of Nigeria. It's a courtship ritual where the
men paint their faces (ochre/yellow, black lips to pop the teeth), wear the tall hats and beads, roll their eyes, and dance in a line so the women can pick the prettiest one. Slim build, no chest, "mismatched" skin from the makeup, the wide-eyed grimace—that's the look they
want. It's been filmed for decades (National Geographic, Werner Herzog, BBC, etc.).
The "Hanging out at the DFW airport" caption is the sarcastic part. The footage itself is not from Texas; it's old stock of the festival. Calling it fake because "those don't look like women" and "I don't see even a faint outline of breasts" is her accidentally describing the actual participants. They aren't wearing masks; that's the paint. They aren't women.
You can tell her it's a male beauty pageant from the desert and the "women" she couldn't find are the ones doing the judging.
