    Lol you brought up tropic thunder as a justification, while I was talking about Jimmy Kimmels use of black face which was not received well. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

    Nobody was seriously offended by RDJ’s role, because it’s making fun of white washing during casting rather than a direct depiction of black face. This kind of context is important and clearly missed by most people who use this movie as a justification for racism… Why do you think Brandon Jackson’s character was upset about it the whole movie?
