Hi first off I just wanted to say I really love this blog, I never even knew about this problem before and you and KINT have really opened my eyes. I'm sorry if this sounds ignorant, or if you have heard this question before. But wasn't Robert Downey Jr's role in Tropic Thunder making fun of blackfacing? Or is that still not okay? Sorry again if this is ignorant or redundant.
TayTay:
I know another mod answered a question similar to this. This is TayTay’s opinion. Yeah, Downey’s role was making fun of Blackfacing. Regardless of it’s intent, it’s still Blackfacing——Blackfacing is still damaging etc etc etc….
I think Tropic Thunder is hilarious… but that does not magically hand-wave all the problematic sheet away ya know?
