Blackface in Red, Brownface in Blue

Funny and totally coincidental how the media is referring to Justin Trudeau's costume as brownface instead of the much more commonly used blackface terminology.

Two of the top ten news stories listed from a Google search use Blackface, the rest use Brownface or some other euphemism.

How common are the terms relative to each other? Totally interchangeable, right?
