What do you think about someone like Fred Armisen blackfacing/brownfacing on SNL? (He seems to do it pretty regularly.) Does it make a difference that they only do it because they have a pretty small (and pretty white) cast, so options are limited?
CC: No, it doesn’t make a difference. I think the FAQ mentions something about it being unacceptable NO MATTER WHAT.

My thought on that is that it’s a better reason for them to hire more people of colour. There are plenty of funny people out there!
