  • Set the content language to Hebrew
  • Open the article שפיטה (זמרת)
  • Scroll to the section "ביקורת". Towards the end of this section there's a link written in smaller letters: (אנ'). This link points to the English Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface . Long-tap this link, and select "Open in new tab".
