    If you say any group of people are prone to rape because of their brains, then that is racist.

        Did he say ‘the African American brain is prone to sexual assault’?

          That is one of the traditional meanings of blackface, yes.

          It’s also clear that the intended meaning of the act is innately critical of that mentality.

          If you disagree that it is acceptable that’s valid but ignoring that the act was at least an attempt at well intentioned criticism is just dishonest.

            Though seriously, in Tropic Thunder, Kirk Lazarus is a satirical character whose method of acting goes to such lengths that it becomes offensive, hence why he’s in blackface.

            Like it’s supposed to be offensive, that’s the entire point. It’s satirising the film industry’s portrayal of war and the actors in the industry. They even point this out in the film itself, lol, it’s a key part of it.

            Using satire to back up your deflection unironically is certainly… something. Haven’t seen that before. But the original post has no satire, punchline, or even anything witty. It’s just plain racism.

            Of fucking course you’re here with a heaping helping of terrible opinions.

            Thanks for sharing, but my doctor said I should avoid false-pretenses used to destroy honest discussion.
